Pros

Local branches with head office backing. Marketing dollars available for agents to spend. Starting "salary" is good. Product training is great.

Kontras

Corporate expects you to spend money out of pocket for marketing. Your agency manager can make or break the position. LOTS OF TURNOVER. High pressure to perform. Starting Salary is advance on commission. Turn away more clients than you can insure. You do not leave training feeling prepared to do the job at all. If you do not have a large network for immediate business, reconsider this position, most of my colleagues have worked in car sales, real estate or have deep connections within the community, building a COI network takes time, but management expects immediate results.

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

Kontras

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 On top of all that, the technology is laughably outdated, with monitors that feature known defects and an "in-house approach" to all of their software that doesn't even feature a modern CRM.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