Pros

Great people to work with; newer technologies; ability to make a difference as well as expand your career; Senior Mgmt seems committed to company and to information sharing with all employees

Cons

Salaries were low compared to the market; the risks to the company are either acts of God (natural disasters such as tornadoes and hurricanes) and therefore completely uncontrollable, and financial markets which was evidenced by huge losses in 2008.

Pros

Well known company with a good reputation Partnership with, and some leads from, existing P&C agents Wide choice of products available Decent training provided

Cons

Most P&C agents are not committed to the process of working with and supporting the Financial Specialist. Yet that is the promise and the heart of the Allstate Financial system. I was told I would be partnered with 3 - 4 agents, but ended up with about one and a half. Once you are in, and past the initial training and support period, it is basically sink or swim. As a result there is a HUGE turnover in Financial Specialists.

Pros

Benefts are good and the work/life balance definitely is skewed towards life. Most people are treated with respect and the pay is relativel competitive

Cons

Cronyism is very much alive. People have been here 30+ years and tend to stick to each other rather than give a newcomer much of a chance. Couple of senior tech folks like to think of themselves as super smart, super architects but their egos are much larger than their talent. Work was extremely boring but then, it is an insurance company and I was doing back office IT at that, so maybe Allstate isn't entirely at fault. Really, not much is expected out of you. Just clock-in, put your 8, and then go home.
