Any new news about potential buyouts/severance opportunities for tenured employees?

Child-level bullying

It's ridiculous that a professional environment condones (and in some cases encourages) child-level bullying. I've seen people brought to tears by their managers over the smallest things. Nobody dares report such behavior since we all know nothing... — read more 

Is it smart to switch teams within Allstate?

I'm hoping the lateral move would give me a better chance to progress in my career down the road (I don't have that option where I am currently due to nepotism) but I can't be sure that the situation I'll be walking into isn't exactly the same - only... — read more

So after they sign the washed up wench Alicia Keys now we have a commercial of a car jumping rope? Really??? Does the marketing department really think these are cute and appealing to the masses in trying to select their insurance representation? The... — read more

Detroit SCO

What in the world is going on? So many attorneys left within last two months and leadership is nonexistent. Support staff leaving in droves. Lead counsel does not make themselves available when attorneys need them for anything. Frustration is rampant... — read more 

BTE

Allstate has job postings in Calhoun Ga. for field/virtual positions with a 5K sign on bonus. They are getting desperate...hahaha.

Free at last!

After more than 4 years of having managers pretending to know what they’re doing, seeing no change in company direction and lackeys hanging around doing nothing but playing politics - I am finally out. Allstate is nothing but a charade and why anyone... — read more 

Cronyism from the top down

For as long as this company ignores merit in favor of bu-t-kissing and yes-mening it will continue to circle the drain. If this was an issue in certain areas it wouldn't be that bad, every company has its share of people who got promoted based on... — read more 

Mandatory Vaccinations Coming?

Word and rumors out there this morning is Allstate may be requiring all employees be vaccinated by end of November this year and that they are tying it to their "Wellbeing" program. If this turns out to be the case and of they make this a condition... — read more 

Property Claims Goes Downhill

All of us property adjusters, inside and out, are working long hours of 50+ a week just to stay afloat. So many leave on a weekly basis because of the work load and job expectations itself so everything gets pushed to us adjusters. This department is... — read more 

Brandt getting better

Let’s give some credit to Brandt for looking after old Esurance folks and trying to be the nice guy here. He’s not the one ultimately making the big decisions

Let it go already

There are still people who enjoy working at Allstate. It makes me frustrated to come here looking for any news of layoffs when those who are no longer here or those who are unhappy do nothing but badmouth the company just because it’s an anonymous... — read more 

I'm tired all the time

There is too much work. Too many people are gone and not enough have been brought on. I'm expected to do three times as much as I had to do when I just started. This is not and should not be considered normal. We should be able to work to live, not... — read more 

Entry level wage is a joke

The entry level wage is $16 when a nearby call center is hiring for $20. This isn’t even considering that other competitors are paying well above this while also being fully remote.

Did you live to regret it?

How many former employees gave their blood, sweat and tears only to be part of a RIF? Do you regret it all and wished you had moved on sooner or were you grateful for the experience and knowledge you’ve gained? Do you still harbor resentment or were... — read more 

I see this all the time

There’s a big difference between teams of people doing busy work that has very little results in the day to day operations and those who are actually focused on meaningful work that makes a huge impact. Sadly, there seems to be many more in the first... — read more 

Going back to Allstate?

Hey everyone, former Allstate employee here, I was assessed last summer and RIF'd in November 2020. Curious to know if anyone similar to my situation has tried reapplying to Allstate? What was your experience in going back to work for them?

Union Assistance

Organizers in our area already contacted three union groups. Two said they don't take on financial/insurance institutions and the other said Allstate legal is not something they can battle. I'm still for it if we can get a union group to take us.

The SCO IS CR-P

There is zero quality left here. Attorneys fleeing weekly for other jobs and not even giving notice. That’s how little they care and I don’t blame them. I’ll be doing the same after my official offer at another firm comes in.

I just don't care...and it works.

I hate the company for what they have done to people and totally despise Shapiro and the other clueless goons at the top. However for me personally my job is easy and I am well paid. Fortunate I guess. But one thing about me is I have zero interest... — read more 

I hate hating my job

Some people act like it's fun for us to come here and trash the company. Like it gives us some sort of satisfaction, but in reality, it doesn't. Don't you think that every one of us would prefer to like our jobs and be satisfied with it instead of... — read more 

Good Hands?

Given all of the accurate information posted on this site, why hasn't the media picked up on what Allstate is doing companywide? Extremely poor working conditions, treating employees poorly? RIF that targeted older employees. Lose a class action... — read more 

I don't care about this company at all anymore

Why would anyone care about this company anymore? I'm just interested in how to find a new job and get out of here as soon as possible. Do you notice that the situation on the job market is better now? How satisfied are you with the offers you've... — read more
