Pluspunten

Company is growing like a weed due to some really positive business practice changes in recent history. It's nearly impossible to get fired; this makes it a great company for someone who doesn't have a ton of experience but is a hard worker. Failing is seen as process of learning. Allstate is transforming from a 'gut-feeling' decision company to data-driven decision company. This means younger/fresher minds making big decisions. Great benefits. New senior managers are superior to those they are replacing. This company has a great future.

Minpunten

Old company that is stuck in its ways. Many of the managers were successful 20-30 years ago and have held on to their comfortable job for the pension. These managers don't want to rock the boat or risk their career on a new project, so things move very slowly. The top 25% of talent is not adequately compensated for their abilities. The top 5% of talent is promoted very quickly through the very limited management spots at Allstate. The next 20% of talent occasionally gets an analyst promotion (~10% pay increase and no new responsibilities) and maxes out their annual merit increase (~7% per year). This group could make substantially more at a start-up-style company. The best workers don't have much work-life balance, but the typical 9-5 employee does not progress in their career. At Allstate, you really have to choose between the two.

Pluspunten

Great base pay, benefits, 401K match, and standard corporate perks. Plenty of networking opportunities all across the country, the ability to support local communities, and a commission structure with good intentions and potential

Minpunten

As a company, Allstate lacks awareness of their role within the industry and within the country, fully acknowledging that their rates are NEVER the best (not sometimes, NEVER). At a time when everyone is conscious of their spending, selling a more expensive (and oftentimes identical) product not only feels wrong - it's unsustainable. There is a severe lack of program direction, poor understanding of the different states' geography and demographics, and complete void of accountability or clarity. An entire product launch was delayed by a month on the day it was supposed to launch, with an explanation never fully arriving and acknowledgment finally trickling down several days later. Of course, this leads to an overuse of corporate speak excuses in an endless cycle of "circle backs" because nobody ever knows what is actually happening or WHY. On top of all that, the technology is laughably outdated, with monitors that feature known defects and an "in-house approach" to all of their software that doesn't even feature a modern CRM. Like the hardware, known system-wide bugs were rampant within these Allstate branded systems, leading to embarrassing conversations with prospects and partners. MS Teams and Outlook will go off late into the night, well beyond normal business hours, all under the excuse of differing time zones and "sharing successes."
