Pros

-Good work life balance -PTO days are generous -Young corporate atmosphere -Consistant schedule

Cons

-Performance is based on numerous things, many of which you cannot control; even if you are deemed an above average employee on your performance raises do not even cover the cost of living. -CRI, or customer reviews, consist of asking the customer how satisfied they are with portions of the claim which are completely out of the claim owner, or adjusters control. These CRI's also dictate your performance review -Senior management appears to have no real experience in handling claims, or in making decisions pertaining to the handling of claims. Senior management tends to roll over in certain situations instead of standing by our policy holders. -Proper training is not given for specific states, particulary the New England states, and especially in the state of MA. Compliance is an issue. -Training for new employees consists of online training where they are kept a room for a week as home office confrences employees in nationwide, and goes over claim handling for all states. This training is completely irrelavant to the job, and the trainers appear to never have handled an actual claim. State specifics are not addressed in training. -Morale is very low in the office, and senior management appears to fire and hire in groups, pushing out the higher paid, tenured employees, and bringing in younger employees and paying them much less. Turn over is at an all time high. -Pay bands are not specific, and there is no clear defination of how to get to the next level. Tenure is rewarded much more than performance.

Pros

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

Cons

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."
