Pros

A lot of friendly people work at Allstate, for the most part its a hospitable place to work. Benefits are about average, and work-life balance can be good depending on what department you work in. D3 Data Science team has a great leadership team that is actively trying to create a positive culture. Allstate has very strong brand recognition and a solid balance sheet. They provide a very valuable service to their customers, and you can count on Allstate to pay claims fairly. If they can figure out how to better price and deliver in the digital age, they have a great opportunity to compete with Progressive and the new Fintech companies that are grabbing market share.

Cons

ATSV (IT Dept) is a mixed bag, many folks are way overworked (and underpaid) especially managers. However, at the same time there is a lot of dead weight that needs to be trimmed from the IT ranks. Lot's of problems in this division. Finance division is full of political monsters looking out for their own careers while providing little value to the company overall - stay away from the 360 Finance Team.

Work from home There are some school programs paid at 100%

Cons

- I haven't been micromanage this bad since working in a call center!!! - the tools you use to do your job feels like micromanagement. Its very slow moving as well. Every thing takes so long to load while you're trying to speed through your work. - you will receive an email about every single little thing you did wrong - you will not receive praise for anything - you will need to protect yourself by maintaining documentation of what was asked of you, because it will be later explained that it doesn't matter what was said, you should have researched it yourself (even when you're brand new). - when they are wronf about a reprimand they just gave you, don't expect a reply or an apology - they will make sudden changes that severely impacts your job at a moments notice and wonder why you are behind - I was advised a manageable workload is 20-30 claims. My whole team had 90+ claims. - The turn over rate is exceptionally high. Over the course of a year I started 7 people quit within. 3 additional people were fired. - you're going to beg for help and they aren't going to help you, and they are going to tell you that YOU are the problem. - currently, all the hires are being shielded from the hot mess. They are trying to change things by pushing all the people who suffered through the mess they created to put a positive spin on the job and I guess preserve moral. - the job itself wouldnt be difficult (because the work is relatively easy), but its VERY disorganized. You will feel like you work in a call center, but this time, you have to return voicemails, emails and text messages. - 2nd worse job experience in my entire life - AND THE PAY IS BELOW INDUSTTY STANDARDS!!! There are no bonuses.
