Pros
Alot of vacation time and if you're a minority, they'll favor you over those with less desirable demographics.
Cons
The benefits other than the vacation time are expensive for new employees. The longer you work there, Allstate gives employees with more seniority better and better credits to offset the costs. The cooperation between areas is abysmal. The executives are in their own world. They value tenure and minorites above ideas. Within IT, they just implemented a policy where most people are not assigned to teams anymore so essentially they're working project to project and are therefore at risk. With this "consulting model" which Allstate says is new, why not get paid more and work for a real consulting company instead?
