Opinions About Allstate Exclusive Agent?

[JSM]

I'm visiting with the Allstate "manager" this week about an EA "career." Allstate as a major insurance company seems to be underserved in my market. State Farm, Erie, and Nationwide dominate with 3-6 offices each in my county. Then there are about 3-4 independents who have been here forever. Allstate has one established agent locally, which doesn't appear to be actively staffed by the agent.

When I priced my own auto insurance, their rates are very competitive and lower than my current Erie policy.

Looks like there may be a good opportunity. I recognize that there will be a few lean years of building the business.

Looking for more feedback on the Allstate Exclusive Agent career.

as a captive agent with Farmers, go look for a producer job with a independent agency, learn the ropes and become a independent agent/broker.

Don't become one of us.
