I love my job as Office Mangager at Allstate.... Find a great agent to work for in your area....
Pros
I think one of the main things that gives a good experience in working for or representing a company is who the agent is that is representing the company and what they are about. Because I have experienced all sides of the spectrum good and bad. I work for a great agent who is very ethical and highly values customer relationships in our agency. The company has a great reputation among consumers as having great claims service and 24hour available customer service. My position as office manager has an opportunity to grow and my possible salary is limitless. I have had a great experience thus far.
Cons
Right now it is diffacult in the marketplace in california because we are no longer writing homeowners insurance through Allstate, although we are brokering out a lot of business to other carriers. The competition is taking advantage of bad mouthing us in the assumption we are going financially insolvent which in fact is not the case. I have learned that every company has its big ups and big downs.
