Pros

They are closed on the weekends

Cons

Heavy micromanagement, management is non-efficient. Management never has the answer to problems but will complain to team members. Supervisors avoid taking calls that have to be transferred. Lack of staff. When you join as a normal customer service rep and do well with your metrics, the management will convince you to join the premiere team and make it sound like it will be better than working on the normal customer service tier. Truthfully, I regret ever moving over to premiere as there was nothing actually "premiere" about the premiere team. It just means 'MORE WORK & MORE CALLS" than the normal tier customer service team. The pay does not increase either but the workload always does. If you join the Allstate benefits premiere team please expect to do EVERYONE's job of all departments including yours and expect to be blamed for everything that goes wrong from management.

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 On top of all that, the technology is laughably outdated, with monitors that feature known defects and an "in-house approach" to all of their software that doesn't even feature a modern CRM.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