Pros

Work From Home Good Amount of Shifts To Chose From

Cons

NOT ENOUGH PTO IF YOU USE ALL YOUR PTO YOU GET OCCURRENCES. MICROMANAGE-MANAGERS ALWAY BREATHING DOWN YOUR BACK, THEY LISTEN TO YOUR CALLS RANDOMLY AND THEN TURN AROUND AND DO A “SIT” with you watching and listening to everything you do. Then you have to have a coaching with your manager every-time you make a mistake or another co worker tell on you. Adjuster don’t pick up the phone when you need help with a claim I believe they just sit there and watch the phone ring so they don’t have to talk to customers Customers yell and scream at you over things you have no control over. If your shop doesn’t have your parts in yet, why are you calling your insurance company? Call the shop! Calls are back2 back you can’t even breath! You have managers watching your screen secretly to see if you are actually working. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO WORK TO FIND INFORMATION IN A CLAIM EVERY CLAIM IS NOT SIMPLE, you have to research information sometimes and if you stay in ACW too long you got a manager messaging you telling you that you need to go back to talking calls. Some managers are rude and they don’t try to help you they don’t even want to speak with anger customers either even if the customers request a manager they want you to go back on the phone and de escalate or they will tell you send the customer to their voicemail. The metrics are very hard to meet, they say ohh its ok if you can’t get this and that then turn around the next week and put you on a UN! Its hard to get a raise because the metrics are unrealistic. I work for ALLSTATE for 7 years and still made the same amount of pay a new hire would make!

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."
