Pros

-Benefits are above average. At the entry level customer service level with no tenure you are given 6.5 weeks of PTO and health insurance and other coverage day 1. -There are opportunities to cross-train to add experience to your resume you otherwise may never receive (there is no additional pay for this extra work however). -The employees are involved in the community and there are engagement activities. -Actually making a difference in people's lives.

Cons

-Division managers are never held accountable for anything. You will be a pee-on and they are blatantly disrespectful and are on a power trip. They add to an already negative culture. Employees do not want to go above and beyond, they just do the bare minimum to receive a paycheck because of how they are treated. -The site leader does not have a backbone and there is a trickle down effect. He is not genuine and puts policy before people. -There are no fair advancement opportunities. This company allows fraternization, so if unless you are willing to sleep with people and kiss butt you will not be promoted. -Unfair pay cuts. Bonuses were cut by 90% while the CEO is making more than ever. ($16 mil on a bonus) It is not a good look. Employees on the front line (WHO DO THE WORK) are taking the brunt of the budget cuts while Upper level leadership continues to get high bonuses. -This is a dead end job, so unless you are at the end of your career or just starting out, this is not the place for you. Steer clear. Allstate is also losing market share because of how they treat their customers and their employees. -Continuous Improvement takes up 25% of the work week but you are still expected to perform 100% of the workload. The goals set are conflicting and impossible. The way Allstate is set up is completely disorganized. -The CEO was happy with losing 20% of his staff in a keynote he delivered at the beginning of the year. He thought it was a testament that people wanted to stay. What a joke.

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."
