Pros

pto is great and they do offer a pension. some of the employees who work within other departments are great.

Cons

very low pay compared to other companies within the industry. in the southeast region in particular, (the atlanta office of allstate) there has been so much turnover with management, including the field vice president and claims vice president- both whom were fired. the morale is very, very low. and the marketing deparment is terrible. has gone thru several incompetent managers, and the current management is so extremely micro-managed and full of control freaks. will work you to death and expect you to work and check email over pto, etc. no respect for boundaries, etc. very unprofessional and plays favorities. management in marketing is not very well thought of by others and makes it to be very uncomfortable working conditions. not recommended to work here. will bait and switch job description once you get in. best advice: look elsewhere!!!!! agents also HATE the region. very hard to get past that with agents.

Pros

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.
