Pros
Good opportunity to make some quick cash if you are aggressive and not looking to pursue this as a long term career.
Cons
It only makes sense if you get a decent bonus. The problem us that it is not based upon your own merit, it is a team effort and the agency has to preform. In other words, you are in a good agency you have a CHANCE to get a bonus, if not then sorry, nothing for you. The bottom line is that the amount of people stressed out at this job is incredible due to the extremely poor technology used, the outdated practices and the fact that Allstate market is so selective that you can market all you want, you turn away more business than what you can write. Meaning: you advertise for Allstate out of your own pocket, they get to keep all the leads, all the client information and you are only as good as your last sale. sell, sell and sell me more but don't give discounts, don't advertise outside of your agency area, don't advertise without approval, don't write newcomers to Canada, don't take vacation or else you dont meet your targets and the list goes on and on
