      Pros

      Awesome work-life balance, freedom to make decisions, ability to participate in cross functional teams.

      Cons

      Like many large corporations, Allstate takes a long time to inform employees about changes, goals, results, etc. Pay is less in comparison to similar roles.

      Advice to Management

      More transparency on company initiatives would be great.

      I worked at Allstate full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      27 days vacation after 5 years.
      Great yearly increases.

      Cons

      Field workload is heavy the majority of the time.
      Currently downsizing the field operation for virtual photo estimates

      Advice to Management

      For future layoffs please use employee performance and job function to complete the downsizing. There were no reasons provided for why i was severed from Allstate Insurance even after a very positive annual review from local management. I enjoyed my role at Allstate insurance and no longer handled field inspections. Only diminished value negotiations. I feel bad for the skeleton crew that i was forced to leave behind.

      I have been working at Allstate full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      Love our customers; Company offers a great product with benefits/discounts not offered by other carriers. Good support system with Underwriting, Agency Support staff and Claims.

      Cons

      Every agency is different so salary, commission, bonuses will vary. Not all agents are in the office daily and some won't handle customer service calls which can be frustrating with a small office environment (1-2 employees). Customers don't like it when their agent isn't there and available. Others take the "summer off" so you're basically running the day-to-day operations in addition to trying to make your sales goals. Personally I don't like working until 6:00 with a busy family.

      Advice to Management

      Let your employees know they're appreciated especially when you expect them to 'run the agency' in your absence for days/weeks. New employees shouldn't receive the same vacation time as those that have been there longer. Be available for new employees to answer their questions vs. having the only other office member train in addition to their regular job duties.
