Pros

Well known company with a good reputation Partnership with, and some leads from, existing P&C agents Wide choice of products available Decent training provided

Cons

Most P&C agents are not committed to the process of working with and supporting the Financial Specialist. Yet that is the promise and the heart of the Allstate Financial system. I was told I would be partnered with 3 - 4 agents, but ended up with about one and a half. Once you are in, and past the initial training and support period, it is basically sink or swim. As a result there is a HUGE turnover in Financial Specialists.

Pros

Remote Good management Flexible schedule PTO

Cons

Sales fluctuate month to month dramatically and lacks predictability (I've been in other sales industries where sales fluctuate, but are far more predictable and stable). It's truly all over the place, which makes financial budgeting impossible. Calling leads who are broke and can't afford quality coverage. Periods where it is completely dead- you can't get a person to answer the phone, regardless of making 200+ calls in a day.
