I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Allstate (Atlanta, GA) in Apr 2015
Interview
The application process is well set up and maintained. There may be a waiting period before you hear anything, but once you get your foot in, it moves quickly. Hr does a good job at answering question and replying back in a timely fashion. The online testing is not overly difficult and easy to understand. If you don't have customer service experience, you will struggle. Answer your question as you would in a retail setting with dealing with an angry customer. Dress to impress at the 1:1. Don't be uptight, but don't be to casual. These are people too. Be outgoing and confident but not arrogant. You'll need more than a college degree for this job, so have some relevant work experience ready. Don't try and BS your way through, they will see right through it.

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Allstate
Interview
Initial interview very good - one on one and then the written and oral testing from the corporate office, not to stressful if you know the business - Don't know why this site requires at least 30 words - but - there really isn't much advancement working at the sales locations unless you decide to open your own office or go to work for the actual copy
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Allstate (Indianapolis, IN)
Interview
Applied through my University's job board. Had a phone interview within 2 days of applying. The phone interview was basic questions and I had to take a computer screening exam as well. After passing that, I then had an interviewed scheduled in the office. The second interview asked me why I am interested in the internship, why I feel I am qualified, etc. About 2 weeks later I got scheduled for a third interview. This interview lasted a total of 5 minutes and was with the office's lead manager. I was asked the same questions from the second interview, just asked by the manager instead and then I was told that I would hear back very soon. 2 weeks later I was notified that the position was filled via email. The process was all too lengthy, taking 2 months in total, even though the interviewers always told me that I would be notified within a few days after each round, it normally took a few weeks. Also the 3rd interview required me to miss an entire day of classes due to travel time, but I was only asked the same simple questions from before. It was a true waste of time.
