Pros

Good work/life balance, benefits are good, supportive of education/professional development, laid back work environment. If you have a good manager, life is good at Allstate. Your experience in the day-to-day work environment at Allstate will depend largely on the manager that you work for.

Cons

Promotions at the management level are political, salaries are not competitive especially if you stay with the company for a while, layoffs are getting ever more common. The risks associated with staying with Allstate for the long term are outweighing the benefits. Talented employees are seeing this and looking for the door after a few years. Experienced employees are putting their experience to work for competitors and other companies.

Pros

Some of the front line managers are great people and really try to help you with day to day problems. Your co-workers for the most part will be agreeable people. The company seems to value diversity at my level and a lot of front line and middle mgmt are female and/or minorities. However, upper level still seems like a white male country club. The company has both a 401k to which they contribute and a pension system, which is rare in today's business environment. Health, dental and vision ins are available.

Cons

Upper management seems to have no idea what the claims office does or the resources they need to do it. Senior employees have been replaced by just out of college sparsely-trained adjusters. The State of FL has all types of bad faith/litigation issues that take some time to understand. The supervisors are stretched too thin to supervise them all the time, so mistakes will and have been made. IMO, any money saved by replacing the experienced adjusters will be more then lost by the judgements paid. Our next gen claims system is onerous and full of error messages. It is not as efficient as what it replaced and less claims work can be done. Mgmt keeps coming up with new compliance issues, spreadsheets that have to be completed and hoops to jump through and this takes time away from the work goals we need to reach.
