Pros

You learn a lot, learn to handle stress, learn to handle any possible situation whatsoever. Once you have worked in this environment, you can probably handle just about anything.

Cons

Too many rate increases, 5 Auto & 3 property, in the last 5 years. Hard to keep clients on books due to this and the down economy. Too many emails from the company to handle.( i.e. Marketing, Claims, Management, Underwriting, trainers, etc.) Takes most of all your weekend just to catch up on those. Not including regular customer service from clients. Too many meetings. Agents are constantly hounded to sell more, but spend too much time on other non-selling Allstate stuff. New contract is less lucrative than prior agents contract.

Pros

Great base pay, benefits, 401K match, and standard corporate perks. Plenty of networking opportunities all across the country, the ability to support local communities, and a commission structure with good intentions and potential

Cons

As a company, Allstate lacks awareness of their role within the industry and within the country, fully acknowledging that their rates are NEVER the best (not sometimes, NEVER). At a time when everyone is conscious of their spending, selling a more expensive (and oftentimes identical) product not only feels wrong - it's unsustainable. There is a severe lack of program direction, poor understanding of the different states' geography and demographics, and complete void of accountability or clarity. An entire product launch was delayed by a month on the day it was supposed to launch, with an explanation never fully arriving and acknowledgment finally trickling down several days later. Of course, this leads to an overuse of corporate speak excuses in an endless cycle of "circle backs" because nobody ever knows what is actually happening or WHY. On top of all that, the technology is laughably outdated, with monitors that feature known defects and an "in-house approach" to all of their software that doesn't even feature a modern CRM. Like the hardware, known system-wide bugs were rampant within these Allstate branded systems, leading to embarrassing conversations with prospects and partners. MS Teams and Outlook will go off late into the night, well beyond normal business hours, all under the excuse of differing time zones and "sharing successes."
