Pros

The benefits are easily the best reason to work at Allstate. Very generous PTO, Holidays, Pension, 401(k) and Insurance bene's are all fantastic. I think pay in other departments is pretty good, our department seemed a bit on the low side.

Cons

Looming layoffs. I was laid-off as well as about 2000 others and there's talk of more. It's a troubling time for the Insurance Co's.

Pros

In my experience, Allstate has been very supportive of employee's registering for training, and until the economy went to the toilet, attending conferences.

Cons

Extremely fractured culture, where different departments have entirely different attitudes and business norms. In the past few years, every year there is a new initiative to remake the company, only to be forgotten and then overshadowed by next year's initiative. Sometime too political, promotions based not on experience or competency, but political gamesmanship. And then they wonder why their having so many problems!

Pros

If the attempted realignment of the company is successful, the place may end up being a good place to work. Offers tele-commuting.

Cons

Like many companies, they are engaging in a cost cutting initiative throughout the company. Many of the IT jobs are being off-shored. Career advancement has been very limited.
