Pros

if you have vision problems, Allstate is looking for new claim "denial" adjusters.

Cons

Corrupt culture. Agents that lie to customers are rewarded so long as they're growing. Throw your morals at the door if you choose to work here. Allstate has no problem denying claims, stealing from agents and firing good employees (so long as it boosts the share price). Upper management has only 1 goal... improve the stock price regardless of the cost. In my 24 years of experience, I have never been so disturbed by a company's "bottom line" attitude. Take a look at insider selling vs insider buying. All the execs are selling because nobody has any faith in the company. Allstate's profitability is industry leading and yet they still continue jacking up rates for great, long term customers in order to acquire crappy esurance customers... why? I forgot to mention that Allstate will change the sales requirements and goals annually without even considering the market outlook. (My agency has won awards annually for 9 straight years!) PS - they're laying off 2000+ employees over the next year.

Pros

Great base pay, benefits, 401K match, and standard corporate perks. Plenty of networking opportunities all across the country, the ability to support local communities, and a commission structure with good intentions and potential

Cons

As a company, Allstate lacks awareness of their role within the industry and within the country, fully acknowledging that their rates are NEVER the best (not sometimes, NEVER). At a time when everyone is conscious of their spending, selling a more expensive (and oftentimes identical) product not only feels wrong - it's unsustainable. There is a severe lack of program direction, poor understanding of the different states' geography and demographics, and complete void of accountability or clarity. An entire product launch was delayed by a month on the day it was supposed to launch, with an explanation never fully arriving and acknowledgment finally trickling down several days later. Of course, this leads to an overuse of corporate speak excuses in an endless cycle of "circle backs" because nobody ever knows what is actually happening or WHY. On top of all that, the technology is laughably outdated, with monitors that feature known defects and an "in-house approach" to all of their software that doesn't even feature a modern CRM. Like the hardware, known system-wide bugs were rampant within these Allstate branded systems, leading to embarrassing conversations with prospects and partners. MS Teams and Outlook will go off late into the night, well beyond normal business hours, all under the excuse of differing time zones and "sharing successes."
