Pros
The prestige to say I work for Allstate is pretty good, you get a lot of nods of approval. The pace of the job is not so bad, you might get to meet a lot of interesting people at some points and you wont really have to deal with a lot of difficult tasks.
Cons
Commissions are ok they are not the greatest if you work for an agent. The agent i work for was very cheap with his money so he never gave us raises, rewards, or anything special. He wanted to keep every commission sale and wanted to charge us for every policy that cancelled. He would rarely spend any time at his office and he would leave me and another coworker to do all the hard dirty work, especially to deal with angry clients was tough enough. You have to establish a base of clients, and try to retain them with the company, its even harder when their rates keep constantly going up!!!
