Pros

Benefits are average to a bit above average. With a decent manager work challenge and opportunities to improve skills is good. Company wants to improve in multiple ways, but entrenched senior leaders and too many "yes-men/women" impede it.

Cons

Leadership opportunities are limited to younger candidates. With the wrong manager it can be nearly impossible to develop or get a fair rating. Evaluations are pre-determined before meeting with manager. Raise from evaluations are set before evaluation meeting.... Scope of responsibility is sometimes limited, for example a DBA at another company would do all the work as a DBA, but at Allstate one sets up databases and maintains them and someone else sets up the instances and configures the environment to optimize performance. Offshoring with captives in India and Ireland has gone way too far at the expense of the onshore economy and commitment to deliver high quality for customer, company and stockholders.

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 On top of all that, the technology is laughably outdated, with monitors that feature known defects and an "in-house approach" to all of their software that doesn't even feature a modern CRM.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."
