Claims specialists (Former Employee), Birmingham, AL – May 20, 2013
Doesn't pay enough for amount of work and stress it involves, inappropriate conversations aloud in call center while others are on the phone with customers. No room for advancement; you may change job title but your not paid for it they call it a temp position. Experienced rude unethical Manager on a daily baises, "OK company" but wrong people in management. – more... New Employees start with higher pay than many current employees have; How is that Legal ? Also very unstable if you work there be prepared to move your assigned cubicle at any time. – less
Office Manager (Current Employee), Cheektowaga, NY – May 17, 2013
Pros: very supportive if you get the right regional manager
Cons: without solid leadership in place, the office culture and chance of advancement is non-existent.
The corporate structure can definitely use some cleaning as there are some regional managers that are very proactive to help their agents grow, and then those who really don't even care. As for the individual agencies themselves, the environment is heavily dependent on the leadership of the agency owner. Allstate as a company does provide a solid value – more... proposition to their customers, but in the end the delivery falls upon the agents themselves. – less

It is hard to come into their world and have them open up to you but it is possible and when it finally happens, it is rewarding that you have finally earned their trust. Hardest part of job is working with a bunch of men that want to give you a hard time. The most enjoyable part of my job is helping others with their insurance needs.
