Pros

Benefts are good and the work/life balance definitely is skewed towards life. Most people are treated with respect and the pay is relativel competitive

Cons

Cronyism is very much alive. People have been here 30+ years and tend to stick to each other rather than give a newcomer much of a chance. Couple of senior tech folks like to think of themselves as super smart, super architects but their egos are much larger than their talent. Work was extremely boring but then, it is an insurance company and I was doing back office IT at that, so maybe Allstate isn't entirely at fault. Really, not much is expected out of you. Just clock-in, put your 8, and then go home.

Pros

Consistent, busy, and you get to help people through tough situations and educate others on what it means to be protective. I am set schedule M-F and off on weekends.

Cons

Prices are a bit higher, and depending on how big your office is, you will be on the phone all day and feel drained afterwards.
