Today was my last day. I got an offer from a competitor, 10k more in salary. Bye Allstate!!!! Won't miss you at all LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO
Time to buy
Hey Tommy, Time to buy another overpriced underperforming carrier to try to hide the customers on the Allstate books running for the exits….
Leadership at Geico and Progressive
…are laughing their as@@s off and Liberty Mutual is breathing a sigh of relief that Shapiro is now Allstates nightmare…
Strengthened reserves
Claim trends are so unfavorable, Allstate needed to pour another 500 million into the pot… Allstate thought that getting rid of hundreds of years of experience to save money in expenses would not have an impact.. Well now Shapiro is seeing claims... — read more
Transactional Growth Plan
Sad times are coming at Allstate. The competitors are full steam ahead of Tommy Boy with growth plans while Tommy is still blaming agents for lack of sales and inflation propaganda that Wall Street buys every quarter. 4% commission is an insult to... — read more
Underwriting soon to be totally automated
Accepts will be an accept, rejects will be a reject with no more questioning and no rebuttals, and no decisions will either be be kicked to accept or reject by the bots and AI. There will be no more live underwriting service. Totally automated and... — read more
So many inflated egos
Happiness after leaving this place is understandable, but mostly everyone who leaves Allstate starts acting like everything will fall apart without them. Why is that? No, it won't, we are just numbers here, like many who were here before us. People... — read more
SERVICE PEOPLE - WOEK ITEMS GONE FROM GATEWAY
You will now need to use dash and eagent
Are things as bad as they seem from here?
Reading this site, the situation seems dire, especially in claims. Is it really? And please explain what is the new Workflow management micromanagement tool? I have not used it….
Only those who have no other options are still here
And I'm not talking about much better opportunities either. I'm almost certain that most people would leave Allstate as long as they get some decent, acceptable offer. I personally know several people who accepted an even worse job, just to get out... — read more
Advertising
Allstate ads have totally disappeared.. TG is working so well that money set aside for advertising needed to be used to control margins…. Great job Tommy and Glen…..
I quit today
My boss called me ungrateful. Ungrateful? Because I have so much to be grateful for working at Allstate, right? Getting cr---y pay while being overworked is such an amazing thing. Having to deal with him every day and suffer through his tantrums was... — read more
Are Tom, Glenn, or Eric Narrissists?
Because I don’t know if they are THAT cold hearted.
Do everything all over again
I am more than frustrated. Venting here won't help me, but I wonder if anyone else has to deal with a manager who constantly gives different instructions, which is why you have to constantly rework things in the end? Terrible incompetence! I'm... — read more
Wilson is a staple of the Chicago community
If you look at his history there, he is very well regarded.
Customers more difficult than ever
Ever since I started working here more than seven years ago, I have never dealt with more difficult customers. This means that customers are increasingly dissatisfied with Allstate. Have you too noticed that they are increasingly dissatisfied?
Agent here
We were told this week that within the next few months ASIC will be completely moved to a vendor in Mexico and that is who will be servicing agents. Also underwriting will have no agency support at all and will be totally eliminated. Us agents are... — read more
It’s time.
Teams are now collecting start dates for employees. It’s happening. Good luck!
Work Flow Tool
Why are they making us go through all of this BS with WFT, metrics, flagging us on reports for numbers that aren’t acceptable in their zombie minds if they’re just going to pawn us off on the vendors?
Department
What department do most people belong to when they are posting these comments? I’m curious
This place drains all my energy
Honestly, I thought that this would never happen to me, that I knew how to set boundaries, that I knew how to stand up for myself... I haven't been here long, but Allstate has drained all my energy. How many people here put their work here before... — read more
I don't think mass layoffs are happening
I feel like every year this board spreads a lot of rumors about layoffs and with the exception of 2020 they never happen. I have no inside knowledge, but I don't think they will happen this year
Evaluation Consultant position a waste!
The ECs were a major factor in my leaving. Working now for a direct competitor. They don’t use colossus, but something equally ridiculous, but it’s easy to get additional authority beyond it. I found some, not all ECs to be rigid & cheap. One in... — read more
Severance not worth it
Unless you have been here 20-25+ years severance is not the grand jackpot that everyone thinks it is. It is taxed up to 40% depending on state taxes on top of federal taxes. Also the cost of COBRA and ACA medical eats big time into that severance... — read more
I decided to stay a little longer
I got a decent offer, but I changed my mind at the last minute. They didn't offer much higher pay, but I heard from others that the atmosphere is much healthier. I assessed that if the recession hits I could easily lose that job right away, that is... — read more
Is this the week?
We all know it is coming to many of us as Allstate moves a lot of the onshore operations to India and offshore vendors very soon. Thanks to the brave senior leaders who have finally been transparent with us for what is coming. Do the announcements... — read more
2 weeks notice
I gave my 2 weeks notice Friday. Didn’t say where I am going (I am going to another insurance company). That being said, I plan on doing nothing for the next 2 weeks. I am going to just watch movies all day. So excited for the next 2 weeks!!!! — read more
National General
Any idea if the layoffs will impact the National General side of the house? It’s been crickets so far…
Re-arranging the chairs on the Titanic
This company is constantly making changes regarding what teams are to handle what claim types. Every month there’s some new team or new re-org of staff. Moving work to other areas, other adjusters. They are shuffling and scrambling around as if... — read more
Reputation of Allstaters
I do not agree that our reputation is that we are marginally skilled, bad performers and that we have a negative attitude, as someone wrote on this forum. Perhaps only our superiors have such an opinion about us and treat us like dirt... Just... — read more
Embarrassing
Claims adjuster here. Started a side hustle so I now travel w two laptops. This I literally the third time this year that I have been in an airport and had someone joke w me about how pitiful my laptop is. My favorite response is, ‘yup fortune 100... — read more
OUTSIDE VENDORS
Which departments (besides CCC) are being moved to outside vendors?
You have to take control of your career
I know, that's easy to say, but I really think that people need to take more control of their own career. There are still many excellent people here who mostly stagnate because it is generally very difficult to grow at Allstate. I think if we did a... — read more
Any layoff rumors
If so, is there a timeline and which departments?
Who are the vendors and do they give severance?
Last week word came out that our entire department at all locations were all being transferred over to an outside vendor. We were told that we were going to be skill tested and attending workshops to determine who would be kept and who the vendor... — read more
Are internal hires not happening right now?
The company is hiring people from the outside, that’s a fact. However, me and my two teammates that are applying for other roles within the company keep being rejected. Is there some sort of embargo in place for hiring people from other parts of the... — read more
My Resignation
I feel the need to post my resignation story as a warning. I’ve also told all my peers the story. I gave my two weeks notice the other day to a backup manager because my manager was on another long vacation and wasn’t coming back until I would have... — read more
I Quit!!!!!
I quit on Friday!!!!! I have been on cloud 9 all weekend! I don’t even have another job lined up and I don’t care. Leaving Allstate is like being released from prison. The weight off my shoulders is real! Allstate turned into a totally sl--e ball... — read more
Have sympathy for claims adjusters
There are a lot of posts here digging into adjusters as incompetent & not returning calls. Those of you in other areas cannot imagine the daily bombardment of work, and the number of calls. Then you’re told to suck it up and get it done! Many of us... — read more
The burnout is real
I am completely and thoroughly burned out. With so many people gone and so much extra work we have to do, I am feeling so overwhelmed and tired. I have mood swings, I'm having trouble sleeping, and I can't even enjoy myself outside of work anymore... — read more
