I don't believe I will work here long enough to see the new leadership, better leadership that may be able to fix this mess. Still, I wonder how the leadership that really cared about this company and its employees would do that? The question is... — read more

Nat Gen
As a current employee of Nat Gen- it is truly criminal the way they handle claims. They practice low balling on claims. Even after you write an estimate- they tell you to offer less then the actual cost. I wish we all knew what Allstate saw in... — read more
Who would want to see Progressive buy Allstate?
And why? As for me personally, I would not like to see that happen.
Things of value?
If I had to list things that are of real value in this company, I would have to agree with another poster and say that it was just a home product. Unfortunately.
Has Glenn lost his energy?
Almost 4 years into his tenure as PPL President, growth has yet to materialize. Agent, employee, and customer satisfaction at all-time lows. Margins under pressure as driving returns to pre-pandemic levels and inflation drives claim costs higher. ... — read more
How come almost everyone becomes much more successful when they leave here?
I am very glad to hear about some people who have left here, that they have become very successful in other companies. There are still great people here, great teams, who are withering away in this company. I’ve worked for several insurance... — read more
Allstate SIU a department in decline
I work or recently worked in it, does'nt matter. This department has never once been mentioned by the TG team, instead talk of "fraud analytics" and other nonsense. We have something called an "MRR" which my peers know is complete BS so much that... — read more
Seriously, do you think anyone really cares about you anymore
Whenever they are saying it is good for the employees or the customer, the translation is it is good for the stockholder. Which means it is good for Wilson, Shapiro, Rizzo, Gupta, Williams, Parsons, Brandt, etc. They could care less about any of you... — read more

I am no longer with your company after many years. I have no animosity but continue to watch what you wanted. (Analytical mind but then realized you needed consultants. It is so sad you let so many qualified people go) And people who could have... — read more
This Company
There are people who had incredible relationships, leadership and success for this company (region to be specific)! Those regions delivered for this corporation and paid for all the HO JOBS. They may not want to believe that but sales delivers the... — read more
India
So with the email everyone received today about home office being sold and knowing Tom Wilson and Glenn Shapiro are all about the bottom line it makes sense that they probably plan to move everything over to India. Sad day. Every other us fortune 500... — read more
Lesson learned

Outsourcing
They are going to outsource all of Claims and Service. It’s a race to the bottom with no end in sight except big paychecks for the execs. They hired pwc to be the hatchet men for the rank and file. The managers will get cut right afterwards. — read more

Maybe they could fill jobs if descriptions weren’t stupid
I was considering a role change. You can’t even understand what the job actually is.
Days after you give notice
I thought the stress would subside when I gave notice, but Allstate's decided to squeeze me until the very end........ Has it ever happened to anyone that after giving notice you got even more work to do, that is, they bury you with more work than... — read more
Get on the Dave Ramsey plan!!
If you guys would get on a written budget, cut up the credit cards, and do the debt snowball, these layoffs would become no issue. Download the every dollar app, and go through financial peace university Merry Christmas
CHRO
Anyone hear why Carrie Blair is leaving?
Market share dropping
All signs are pointing to Allstate dropping auto market share again. Rates, Claims and customer service are pathetic.
Chat positions
Does anyone know if any insurance competitors have any chat or non phone positions they are hiring for?
Same cr-p different day
We have some great people here but unfortunately most that I know are in the midst of looking elsewhere or working out their notice. I’m not looking forward to the work that will be pawned off to those who remain. We can’t seem to retain any... — read more

Auto/property adjusters
Do any of you remember signing a non disclosure or non compete paper when hired? Been here 8 years and now thinking about switching to a different carrier.
Is overtime pay worth it?
In my ten years in auto claims this is definitely the lowest in terms of morale. They’re giving us overtime pay, but honestly the quadruple workload we’ve been given is just too much. 12 hour days are the norm in my unit. Angry customers, agents and... — read more
My jobless experience
I couldn't take it anymore. When I quit because I could no longer bear the daily overload of work, when it started to affect my private life - I gave notice even though I had no other offer at the time. It was really a huge stress and I thought it... — read more
Future doesn't look good
Too many people are leaving, whether it's through layoffs, cuts, or attrition. I don't think Allstate management realizes just how much trouble they'll have attracting decent talent when they realize that a major hiring drive is necessary. I wouldn't... — read more
ALL stock
Looks like the Allstate stock has dropped almost $10 this month, could drop even more…..
Is the grass greener on the other side
I actually like working in insurance but just getting tired of Allstate. Has anyone left Allstate and went to another company? If so is it better or worse? Also, if you would like maybe mention the new company? Asking for a friend (me, lol)
There's never a good time to be laid off
This company has many flaws but people are sometimes ridiculous in the things they claim it does on purpose. I saw a guy bi--h and moan on FB that Allstate intentionally laid him off on his daughter's birthday. Really? First of all, there is never a... — read more

What is Arity's value?
Saw someone talking about Arity in a different thread. Why does Arity exist and why does it not get absorbed into Allstate?
Where is the line between hard work and squeezing people?
By the end of the week, I don't think I'll have enough energy left to do anything more than give notice. The past few weeks have been horrible for me. Those who don’t understand say it’s hard work. No, I don’t think it’s just hard work, I think it’s... — read more
