Pros

Great amount of time off - after your first year you get 20 days (paid) off as a salaried employee. The 401k match was usually pretty generous, but the economy may have now changed things. Before I left, they changed the pension to allow you to be able to access it after your first year of working there (yes, they offered a pension AND a 401k). Managers were pretty flexible with time off at the time. You're pretty much guaranteed job security due to the amount of claims that tend to come in. You get to understand a product that everyone needs (insurance) better.

Cons

HEAVY workload. I don't think the leadership thinks realistically about how many people they should hire to help carry the workload. Our goals were pretty stringent and (again) based on some unrealistic attainments. An e-mail was once forwarded that you should never expect anything over an "Meets expectations," on your yearly review - this was sent as a joke but is more real than what you might think. If you are new, never expect to get any part of the week of thanksgiving off (except for Thanksgiving Day) or any part of the week of Christmas (except for Christmas day).

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 On top of all that, the technology is laughably outdated, with monitors that feature known defects and an "in-house approach" to all of their software that doesn't even feature a modern CRM.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