Pros

It is a semi stable company as a whole. Allstate has been around for 80 years, and seems stable at the corporate level.

Cons

Was flat out lied to about the job, pto, and bonus structure by the hiring HR rep. Allstate morale is going down due to misinformation, no team budget, bad mid level management, no one listening at the site level and above... There is a scare that the site is going to be 100% spanish speaking, and there has not been any hiring of english reps in months. Bad infrastructure. Some DMs are in over their heads. Bonus is poor, impossible goals that are unrealistic and not obtainable. Sooo much more.

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 On top of all that, the technology is laughably outdated, with monitors that feature known defects and an "in-house approach" to all of their software that doesn't even feature a modern CRM.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."
