Former Employee – worked at Allstate full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Big company, not likely to go out of business any time soon. Although some times slow death may be worse.

Cons – Company culture is bad, from top down. Management treats employees poorly. Employees treats customers poorly. High cost supply chain, extremely competitive market, no clear vision on how to gain back lost market shares or reducing cost. Most of the time when management realize they need to cut cost, they just issue an edict for underlings to save XXX amount by XX date.

Advice to Senior Management – Management could really use some training on UPDATED management skills. WW2 era military style leadership is not going to work with younger generations. Most people leave a job not because of pay, but because of bad managers.

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.
