Pros

Work from home one to two days per week. Fairly good salary structure. Good discount programs including for Allstate insurance.

Cons

Absolutely no job stability. Two layoffs in two years (1st was 20% of the work force, the second 10%), despite the CEO taking his raises and bonuses. Management decisions are made with a goal of keeping one's job, rather than what's good for the company. Former excellent work life balance completely scrapped, with overtime expected. Plus, all IT changes are moved to production during the weekend, and if you have changes, you must be available to supervise those changes (over the weekend). Most of the long-term employees who were knowledgeable about the systems are now gone, eroding the accuracy of current projects. The pride that the company workforce formerly had is completely gone, due to the way management has handled things the past few years.

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 On top of all that, the technology is laughably outdated, with monitors that feature known defects and an "in-house approach" to all of their software that doesn't even feature a modern CRM.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