Pros

Allstate offers employees average benefits, pretty competitive salaries and hires some really, really smart people.

Cons

Unfortunately, the super smart people spend a lot of their time in endless meetings, starting and stopping the same solutions, repackaged as new initiatives, year after year. Allstate was once a pre-eminenet leader in P&C insurance, but it has been losing ground. As an employee, expect to put in long hours, be available at any time, and then be put out to pasture after you turn 50.

Pros

1 Free transport 2 Free WiFi at office and generally good infrastructure. 3 Great worklife balance as there is no work :)

Cons

1 Most of the projects being offloaded from vendors are support projects with not much work to do. Vendors have taken Allstate for a ride. For a work which can be done by fresher's they are showing billing of experienced resources. Hence Allstate recruitment team is hiring experienced developers for stupid work. This is the major reason why people are either absconding or quitting their jobs so early. Also the reason for such low rating. 2 The HR policies and process is still not streamlined.

Pros

Brand recognition. The ability to own your own business. Great signing bonuses, support, training. You can make a very good income. You own your interest in your book of business. You can test out every idea you have ever thought your previous boss should try.

Cons

You will need about $50,000 to start. Make sure your rates are competitive for the area you are wanting to start your agency. Marketing can be difficult when you are getting started. You must find new and creative ways to market your agency. Staffing will be the most frustrating part in owning your business. Master this and the marketing piece and you will do great.
