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

Consistent, busy, and you get to help people through tough situations and educate others on what it means to be protective. I am set schedule M-F and off on weekends.

Cons

Prices are a bit higher, and depending on how big your office is, you will be on the phone all day and feel drained afterwards.
