Pros

Used to be a good place to work - made great friends, had opportunities for growth and knowledge (80's, early 90's)

Cons

This place DOES NOT care about employees (and probably not the customers either). Stockholders are 'king'. Only care is cutting expenses, so that CEO (and bonus level officers) can get their bonuses. CEO rec'd 30% increase in income for 2009, after cutting 1000's of employees (and losing customers and policies in force). Morale is at an all-time low, favoritism and brown-nosing culture. They are a 'good ol boys network'. Several Million dollar projects are started, then aborted each year. The strategic planning is horrendous. Millions are wasted annually - with stops/starts - then with no implementations. To make budget for the next year, they make more cuts (but the gains or efficiencies are never achieved). Nice environment - eh???

Pros

Very ethical company that is financially stable. Lots of support if you ask for it.

Cons

Training did not prepare you to run an insurance agency. Allstate recommends you go out and spend a ton of money on your office and employees neglecting to tell you you should not expect to make any really money until year 5 and that your should save everything you can. All the fee's will eat you alive.

Pros

Great benefits and overall benefits package. You get about 20 days off, and most of your peers that you work with directly are friendly.

Cons

Little to no recognition of doing a good job. This used to be a fun place to work, but the company is under major pressure.
