Thinking about joining ALLSTATE, I know the company has been around forever but what are the pros and cons of working there?

Pro: you’re in good hands.

funny

The pro and the con are that it’s a large company. You’ll have good company perks, benefits, and pay. Job security to at least some degree. The cons are very mixed reviews, for one person who would 10/10 recommend is somebody who will tell you to run far away. With so many people and offices, hard to know what you should expect.

It's a legacy heavyweight, and the brand recognition is an obvious advantage. You won't have to explain who you work for. It's also known for good training programs. A potential problem is that you'd only be dealing with Allstate products, so you don't have other options to offer someone. I remember hearing that some of their tech seems outdated, but that may have been resolved by now.

laying off 1250 people and forcing everyone who didnt get laid off to make a post "offering support" doesnt make it better that you failed to plan appropriately and view your employees as dispensable when the going gets rough.

Dont buy into the propaganda these tech firms are putting out. And dont be that person with stockholm syndrome thanking your employer for a "great experience" when they threw you to the wolves as soon as it suited them.
