Pros

You can have a paycheck and health insurance with plenty of PTO...

Cons

A workload the size of Mt. Everest. Run! Don't do it!

Pros

Allstate is a great company. I have only worked here for a year or so but have enjoyed my time so far. The position is commissioned but you are paid a 'guaranteed' advance on commission which allows you to budget for your expenses. Beyond the advance you can earn more money by reaching and exceeding monthly sales targets, and then can make generous quarterly bonuses based on both your performance and that of your agency. Overall Allstate has been a great company to work for and I would recommend the company to anyone.

Cons

The sales targets are based on prior years, so you could find it difficult to attain at times. The company preaches sales activities such as networking and cold calling, the latter of which is a dying art in the age of Do Not Call lists and access to online information for the consumer. But aslong as your sales are on target the activities are secondary, only if you are struggling will management actively push you to reach your activity targets.

Pros

People, benefits, lots of opportunity to develop skills. Pay is pretty decent as well.

Cons

Do not expect to see promotions based on merit, especially as you move up in the organization. Very fragmented strategy with no obvious line of sight to the employees. Actions of leadership often contradict verbal priorities.
