Pros

Only pro is typically other employees

Cons

Where to even begin: No work life balance. You'll get switched from hourly to salary within 6 months, while more and more work is dumped on you. Expect to work 50-60+ hours per week and still be unable to keep up with workload, as mamagement keeps adding to your plate but never removing anything. Astronomical turnover. Entire classes of new hires starting every Monday for months on end. Great amount of PTO for new hires, but was recently capped. Don't expect to actually get to use the time off though, Mondays require more staff and it's near impossible to get one unless booked months in advance. Also don't forget, you will fall behind on vacation, your work piles up while you're away. Most stressful time ever is after having a day off. Benefits are awful for families, but passable for single workers. You still get assigned claims over the weekends. Just because you're not physically there, you still will have additional work waiting Monday morning. Pay is laughable when factoring in the number of unpaid hours you have from being salaried. You do not receive annual bonuses like other insurance carriers offer. Also, there are new changes in the pipeline with the new director in 2020, none of which benefit the employees. Every decision is focused on cutting costs and increasing company stock price. Horrible overall morale.

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."
