Pros

Great people at the company but most have been there forever and that culture is not so good. Lots of employees extend lunch and breaks and nobody says anything so essentially a 6 hour work day.

Cons

Leadership has little vision. It is a statistical driven company with little care for the client. It is all about contributing to the US parent profit $$. They bought Pembridge at $400M in 1999 and it has proven to be a big mistake. Now they will save every $ to make it okay but the leadership at Pembridge is unchallenged. They get away with it so the rest of the company suffers immensely. You can kiss raises and fun good bye unless it comes from corporate relations - merely cupcakes!!! Really....they are at the beck and call of the US and the current president is a puppet that is loved by Canada and the US because of the profits. This model was created by some pretty good people a long time ago and now the US is taking credit. You will have good work but will go nowhere.

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 On top of all that, the technology is laughably outdated, with monitors that feature known defects and an "in-house approach" to all of their software that doesn't even feature a modern CRM.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."
