Pros

Good benefits that amounts to nothing when you quit

Cons

There is a massive turnover where only one out of 23 attorneys from a few years ago still work there -you will have 4-8 trials on your calendar each month -they say there will be big haul to change structure and attorneys will have 80 cases each but in REALITY, attorneys each have 150-200 cases -so many turn overs so you need to constantly cover depositions for someone -never know who your boss will be in a few months -extreme disorganization and you will inherit cases that have been rotting in hell for at least 8 months to 2 years (leading every attorney to have to do the infamous pilgrimage to the court house to beg for forgiveness) -due to lack of attorneys, everyone that dealt with Allstate will hate you and have zero patience -your personal reputation will be destroyed to nothing even though much is not your fault but the lack of attorneys -you will never have rapport with any colleagues because they are all miserable and 90% leave 6-8 months max -they can’t seem to hire competent attorneys so you work with people that have no civil trial experience -the amount of tasks assigned to you by the system will be around 100-120 per day leading you to feel like constant failure and waking up to the same grave -you will feel like an ever sinking boat with no

Pros

Work from home There are some school programs paid at 100%

Cons

- I haven't been micromanage this bad since working in a call center!!! - the tools you use to do your job feels like micromanagement. Its very slow moving as well. Every thing takes so long to load while you're trying to speed through your work. - you will receive an email about every single little thing you did wrong - you will not receive praise for anything - you will need to protect yourself by maintaining documentation of what was asked of you, because it will be later explained that it doesn't matter what was said, you should have researched it yourself (even when you're brand new). - when they are wronf about a reprimand they just gave you, don't expect a reply or an apology - they will make sudden changes that severely impacts your job at a moments notice and wonder why you are behind - I was advised a manageable workload is 20-30 claims. My whole team had 90+ claims. - The turn over rate is exceptionally high. Over the course of a year I started 7 people quit within. 3 additional people were fired. - you're going to beg for help and they aren't going to help you, and they are going to tell you that YOU are the problem. - currently, all the hires are being shielded from the hot mess. They are trying to change things by pushing all the people who suffered through the mess they created to put a positive spin on the job and I guess preserve moral. - the job itself wouldnt be difficult (because the work is relatively easy), but its VERY disorganized. You will feel like you work in a call center, but this time, you have to return voicemails, emails and text messages. - 2nd worse job experience in my entire life - AND THE PAY IS BELOW INDUSTTY STANDARDS!!! There are no bonuses.
