Current Employee – been working at Allstate full-time for less than a year

Pros – Pros are decent salary and work with some fun people

Cons – Working late night's I mean into 1:30 in the morning that includes weekends, it's become agency support so you can only max out your monthly bonus to 2400 a month. Too much micro management. People are dropping like flies because of the new changes I've been there less than 3 months and I'm already looking for a change. I know Allstate is a great company but right now working there just isn't worth it

Advice to Senior Management – Get back to commission based structure and m-f day time hours people don't want to be working the same hours as a bartender for a professional type job.

Current Employee – been working at Allstate full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – Great work environment. However Allstate is changing the agency expectations therefore important to seek employment with an agent who is supportative in the marketing and sales efforts of their staff.

Cons – Each Allstate office is owned by an independent agency owner. Therefore salary, commission and benefits for licensed staff vary and are completey up to the agency owner. If seeking employment with a newer agency, more agents are starting licensed staff at a lower base salary, my experience around $18K - $20K + commission and benefits are not great and there is more turnover. The more seasoned agency owners start slightly higher but with Allstate revamping the agency owners structure with the company even the more seasoned agents are downsizing.

Current Employee – been working at Allstate full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – work day flexibility
lots of PTO days
pension plan in addition to 401K

Cons – low salaries
tendency to give more to the new hires from the outside rather than promote anbd retain current talent

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
