Vantaggi

Great corporate benefits, lots of job related perks (i.e. hotel points, airline miles, travel upgrades, ability to somewhat enjoy cities worked in), and ability to independently network outside of the company.

Svantaggi

Working for Allstate's National Catastrophe Team and all divisions related to it is like being back in high school. It's a populartiy contest and if you arent someones "best friend" you are their "mortal enemy" and if you dont drink the kool-aid and follow even some of the worst business decisions into darkness you are ostracized and eventually forced out of the company for various reasons, however they are known for using the corporate HR scapegoat of the excuse "COMPLIANCE" which in their terms loosely means "we dont like you". I drank the kool-aid for a several years and then realized that I was not going anywhere and even when I knew for a fact that my colleagues and co-workers were all jumping ship because the writing was clearly on the wall, I still maintained that things will get better. Other items that would deter most is: lack of continuity in home office decisions related to customers; well below average salaries; and false predication of advancement opportunities.

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

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 On top of all that, the technology is laughably outdated, with monitors that feature known defects and an "in-house approach" to all of their software that doesn't even feature a modern CRM.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