It is sad to see that you let some go because somebody“scored” better. They did not preform “better” you are not happy with them. Do you deal with mediocrity. Sad
They didn't seem to care at all
From everything said during townhall, I didn’t even understand what Allstate intends to do to keep people from continuing to flee this company?
Remote positions
How safe are remote positions? I was thinking of going fully remote, but I'm worried if that's a smart choice in the long run. I'm thinking that remote jobs can easily be outsourced and since this is Allstate, I doubt they'd care about the quality of... — read more
It’s time for SALARY roll call! (Any and all dept welcome!)
Since there are LAWS that protect employees discussing salary it’s time to “go round” and share with the group. Since they are hiring all these new folks at HIGHER salaries it may be time for the rest of us to get caught up! I’ll start….virtual... — read more
Town Hall time
Wonder what BS they'll try to feed us today...
National general
We were told in our town hall....raises to people to br equitable to Allstate. Sr claim adjusters.....anyone getting paid north of $60k a year? National general had 11 paid holidays. Now going to 9 paid vacation days. What are the 9 days? Thank... — read more
Arity screwed up
Much like allstate, Arity laid a large swathe of it's staff off last year, and funny thing is, with how quickly people have been jumping ship the last 18 months, they are now severely understaffed and don't know the first thing about hiring tech/data... — read more
Do they know what they are doing?
It seems to me that they didn’t think much at all when they made big cuts, nor after that with hiring and overhiring new people. While some departments are staffed with a lot more hires than needed, others have one person doing a triple workloads... — read more
New to Allstate claims? Start A Union
You will soon see why a Union is needed at Allstate.
I propose an employee survey
The one that'll truly matter. Ask every single employee if they have been searching for a new job in the last month, six months, and a year. That's it. That's the only question that needs to be on there. That single question will tell management more... — read more
Leaving for competitor
I’m curious of the protocol for leaving for a competitor. I have heard you’re “walked out” immediately but with the new remote work and Allstate’s deportation for employees I’m curious if you’d be allowed to work your last two weeks. Any insight? — read more
NatGen and Allstate Town Halls this week
Hey, anyone have any inside knowledge in the town halls this week?
Return to office
Does anyone know if the call centers will open back up? I thought it was supposed to be July but I haven't heard any word. I work in the Hudson office but it still isn't open
1-week pay withholding in 2020?
Is the 1-week of pay withheld in January 2020 (due to payroll schedule change) issued to you when you resign/term/retire? If so, was it included on your final paycheck or issued separately. I recently left Allstate and when speaking with... — read more
Does anyone work for the CCC in Charlotte
If so do you like it, hate it, and why? I currently work in a different department but was considering applying for the CCC line see rep position.
Layoffs shouldn't be necessary
I can't understand why layoffs keep happening when attrition is as high as it is. It would make some sense if people were only leaving certain departments and they needed to cull those that are having very few departures, but those don't exist! The... — read more
If you’re not in the legal department, keep scrolling
Any insider information regarding the future of paralegals at Allstate? Will they be the next to go? Now that the axe has fallen on lead counsel, who will be next?
Changing times
Non claim comment….some in departments are having to STEP UP for the first time in their long prosperous career. They were retained (HR) but no longer have the people to do their job. Oh well. I guess you’ll have to work.
Is there an Allstate call center in Atlanta
Im thinking of relocating since we are working from home but ideally I'd like to be near an Allstate corporate office.
I find the talk of motivation amusing
Whenever I see people complain about not having the motivation to work because of this or that, I find it both funny and entitled. Your motivation to do your job and do it well should be driven by your pay. Nothing more, nothing less. Now if you're... — read more
The difference between departments
Culture is toxic, morale is low, I think that could be said for all Allstate departments. Still, I wonder which department do you think is the most/ least toxic?
Internal Equity- Salary Increase
Band C here... I was just informed I qualified for a 2.5% salary increase based on a market, performance and internal equity review. In speaking with my colleagues, It appears only woman of color got the increases and the merit must be IDE... — read more
Please Explain How Transformative Growth will be executed?
Can someone please explain how this seismic shift of going direct is going to be executed. Furthermore, identify how things are going to be different this time in the direct arena compared to the 10 year track record of Esurance ownership. Also, tell... — read more
Research on a new company
Sometimes it may be more important to know what we don't want than what we want. After a few years here, it is now much clearer to me what where I do not want to work. However, how can I fully know that I will not be greeted by the same atmosphere in... — read more
Agent based model is going the way of the dinosaurs
I worked for Allstate for 35 years and held a number of positions both in the field and home office. I retired in November 2020, taking the RIF package. Allstate has always struggled to grow market share organically; rather, they purchase it i.e... — read more
$600 surcharge
While we are at it we also need to see about challenging in the courts the annual blackmail of do biometric screening and tell us your private medical information or else BS. There is a theft of employees that this company has been getting away with... — read more

Everyone relax about the vaccine mandate
Regardless of your position either way this mandate is pointless and not worth this site's time. Due to all the federal judges standing in line to rule to halt the mandates and thus not allow companies or the government to enforce them no one will be... — read more
The 100+ employee vaccine mandate
You're just going to have to fire me I guess. I am one of your top performing claims adjusters that stepped up much more than most after your incompetent as--s laid off so many but I now work from home bothering no one. but thanks to the potato in... — read more
Feel ashamed to be a part of this company!
When people ask me where I work, I never say "I work for Allstate” but instead “I work for an insurance company”. Why? Because I have noticed how people react when the name of this company is mentioned to them. Leadership may need to reassess... — read more
Wow, the similarities of AS to now-defunct Circuit City
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2007/03/circ-m30.html Circuit City fired thousands of employees, opting to cut tenured and longterm workers to avoid paying their higher salaries, and the top execs got their bonuses for all the money they saved the... — read more

Spyware
Anyone know of tattleware type platforms that Allstate is using to monitor work from home activity? Asking for a friend…
Freeeeeedommmmmm
I just finished my first week at the same job but with a small insurance company and my god is it so much better. Yes, it's only been a week, but all the training and sit alongs I've been doing I know it will be a better life than the black ho-e that... — read more
