Pros

Allstate is a huge company with a ton of opportunity. There are so many different parts of their business that you can find a position doing pretty much anything you could imagine. From technology to finance to investments to insurance sales, Allstate has it all. There is also a lot of flexibility to move around within the company. Many employees have been with the company for 15+ years because of this. Lastly, senior management are extremely accessible. Allstate really promotes an environment of inclusion and values its employees.

Cons

Because of the size of Allstate, there can be some issues with how quickly it moves in terms of technology. Legacy systems are common because of the size, complexity and regulations of the company. This is somewhat compounded by employees being able to get comfortable in a position and then becoming static. While very open to new ideas and suggestions, there is a lot of organizational inertia that can keep these advancement from becoming a reality.

The best insurance policies in California. Great coverage and affordable premiums.

Dinosaur Management that refuses to adapt to the information age. Sub par marketing. Lack of hunger for growth from corporate.

Pros

Good work life balance, pretty good benefits. Some positive direction and changes for the CEO. Fairly stable company. Non-confrontational environment. There are many long time employees, so the environment must work for some folks.

Cons

Depends on your particular department, but beware many areas reflect a very traditional company, hierarchical, resistant to change, slow to change. (Many management, collaboration and other cultural norms seem to be stuck in the 1960 - 1980 period.) C level management is making some positive changes but it's yet to be seen if it will trickle down throughout the organization. There are many long time employees (particularly in middle management) that find change very threatening. You need to be very comfortable with incremental change to be satisfied here. Even suggesting any substantial changes can cause fierce (and at times punishing resistance). But if you can get comfortable with the slow pace, mediocre outcomes and keeping your opinions to yourself, they pay is decent and they don't work you too hard.
