Pros

Work at Home options, 401K, Employee Benefits (aside from the medical insurance rates and no gym membership help), Co-workers are awesome, pay is somewhat fair but not the best, Esurance has a great concept for the direction they are headed as a company, the management and supervisors on the service level are awesome and understanding, as they also are enduring the 'reorganization'.

Cons

Staffing, Attendance Policy, Insurance Rates, Schedules, Morale, Fear of job security, Slow/bugged Systems At one point, I actually loved my job, however, deeper that AllState penetrates into the company, the worse it's getting. Our health insurance rates have increased by over $5000 in the past 2-3 years. Family deductibles are now $4000, Out of Pocket Max $6000. The attendance policy is getting less and less family friendly. Training used to be stellar and now is starting to fizzle. Morale is less than mediocre. Shifts are becoming difficult to maintain. They did major layoffs in May and are now hiring. It feels like it is their way of getting all of the seasoned reps to quit out of fear of job security and maintaining their schedule so they can bring in lower paid reps with more desperation who will work worse hours. A typical day is talking to customers who are disappointed, although there are a few who you can make happy, it's emotionally draining. The systems are slow and make doing daily tasks aggravating. The company is now trying to win the hearts of it's employees with free snacks and swag in a poor attempt to reconcile their failures.

Pros

It was a great environment to work at supervisors are very helpful and try to make their employees realistically happy! Training was great and motivational everyone was very helpful! Pay is descent compared to most jobs lots of incentive and bonus opportunities and you get raises based off of your overall performance every yr. They always have new positions available to make more money! So your not stuck in one position too long you can move up not too long after graduation. Also they offer work at home opportunities to those who earn the privilege!

Cons

I don't have any personal cons except that it's a very repetitive job i mean it is a call center so all you do is take repetitive inbound calls back to back! You do the same thing all day for 8 hrs sitting in your cubical with not much interaction with others you only get a 30 min lunch and two 15 min breaks if u need a break in between you mess up your adherence potentially messing up your overall performance. It's like any call center I'm sure so if your ok with staying in one spot for 8 hrs a day with little to no movement/interaction and repetitive back to back calls this is the job for you! I liked it for a while it was exciting and a challenge at first but after a yr and a half of learning the job it just became boring/repetitious for me! Definitely not something I could do for long term.
