Pros

You are your own boss, freedom to work as long as you want make as much as you want

Cons

Management is clueless, they have no backbone or spine I guess this goes with the territory these days they are all just hanging onto their jobs I guess. Allstate does not listen to agents, they have advisory boards but they are a decoy. There is an actual Association of Allstate agents that is productive, but carries little weight with the suits.

Pros

They are agressive at managing their risks which makes them more financially stable, in the long run, than many of the other property casualty insurers. They seem to have an idea of where they want to be positionsed for the future. They are strongly encouraging their strongest agents to grow.

Cons

Because of their conservative nature it causes them to struggle on the pricing side and while other companies are buying business Allstate refuses to play that game. It means that you have to be able to sell service and unique products instead of price. This becomes difficult to do under current situations. They continue to push the costs on the agency force without offering more competitive products or additional compensation.

Pros

The prestige to say I work for Allstate is pretty good, you get a lot of nods of approval. The pace of the job is not so bad, you might get to meet a lot of interesting people at some points and you wont really have to deal with a lot of difficult tasks.

Cons

Commissions are ok they are not the greatest if you work for an agent. The agent i work for was very cheap with his money so he never gave us raises, rewards, or anything special. He wanted to keep every commission sale and wanted to charge us for every policy that cancelled. He would rarely spend any time at his office and he would leave me and another coworker to do all the hard dirty work, especially to deal with angry clients was tough enough. You have to establish a base of clients, and try to retain them with the company, its even harder when their rates keep constantly going up!!!
