Pros

It's better then unemployment- or that's what I used to think, at least. Working at Allstate is all about nodding and smiling and not rocking the boat. If you have a high tolerance for idiocy, then this is the job for you.

Cons

Senior management has no clue as to what is going on. Allstate is the epitome of cronyism. Advancement isn't decided by merit, rather by who you know. The technology is outdated and the servers are always going down. They blame it on the State's DMV, when in reality it is actually their server that is done. They have unrealistic expectations and when something uncontrollable goes wrong, the blame squarely falls on your shoulders- rather then recognizing the situation for what it is, and congratulating a DSP for actually using common sense.

Pros

Able to control the workflow and make sure the required RMBC and UW are done.

Cons

Corporate is in compretition with you. There used to be rules against competing brokers in some industries. Now corporate has rerouted your phone and will offer quotes to calls before you can even speak with them. There are no benefits at local offices. The owners are greedy money hungry and could care less about anyone but themselves.
