Pros

Competitive salary, work flexibility, location, benefits

Cons

I started off with some of the best management team ever, but over years it became worse and worse as leaders move on. Management is rotated so often that by the time you teach them what is needed they move on. Most managers only worry on the mark they leave. Slogans are becoming so pathetic they smell. One year " Power of One", next slogan "Power of One and then Some" Workload is unmanageable but no one cares. Recognition from coworkers is good but recognition from management is virtually non existent. You are more likely to get noticed for organizing an outing then for performing on the job. In 10 years it went from the BEST to Pathetic...

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 On top of all that, the technology is laughably outdated, with monitors that feature known defects and an "in-house approach" to all of their software that doesn't even feature a modern CRM.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