Pros
Good hours-Monday through Friday, and you're usually out by 5:30 or 6:30 Co-workers were all great
Kontras
Allstate is bleeding money, and corporate is trying to fix it by raising prices, implementing 33% deposits for people with lower insurance scores, making customers prove insurance history, divorce status, etc. therefore cutting down on the applicable discount agents can offer them. You're expected to work about 50 hours a week for a base salary that comes out to around 7.50 per hour-less than minimum wage. Commission is a joke, unless you can sell a huge amount of business, which no one can, because Allstate's prices are non-competetive, especially for normal lower to middle class income earners. WAY more cold calling then you would expect, because most people buy online now, walk-ins and call-ins are rare. In addition, most agents and owners have no idea what they're doing because the turnover rate is so high.
