And some of us actually like our jobs. Not every area of Allstate is a nightmare. I would not agree with someone who wrote this. I love my job too, but I started to despise it in this company. I wouldn’t say there are such “areas” that aren’t a... — read more
No Wonder Allstate Is In A Hurry To Move Jobs To India...
Saw the job application below which was posted 6 days ago for a position in India and already has nearly 400 applicants. Using the current Rupee to U.S. $ exchange rate, the math works out to $2,019.55 - $6,732.06 vs a $40k+ salary here in the US. ... — read more
I have trouble believing some of you
I see so many posts of people leaving Allstate and finding better paying jobs with great benefits and amazing culture... Really? In this economy, there are hundreds of these amazing jobs available for the taking? Just waiting for disgruntled Allstate... — read more
Can’t Allstate just get rid of the claims department?
With transformative growth and claims and processor jobs being outsourced to call centers in India (yes, writing estimates without licenses in India for $5 hour) can’t they just sh-t down claims operations here since it’s just a skeleton crew... — read more
What are your reasons for leaving?
Part of the reason I left is because I got sick of having a stagnant career coupled with the ridiculous expectations by poor management and the executives. Of course I had to reassess my goals and prioritize what was most important to me and how to... — read more
Why does it bother you so much?
I can understand hating Allstate. I really can. But what I can't understand is why in the world does it bother some of you so much that some of us do not share that feeling. Allstate is far from perfect, but most of my years here have been good. Yes... — read more
It’s ingrained
I know several hardworking colleagues who STILL put a lot of effort into their work. They take pride in it and there’s nothing wrong with that. We each have our own reasons for putting very little or an abundance of effort no matter the outcome... — read more
Looking for input...
For those who have gone out on STD due to stress and it impacting your health, how long did you stay on leave, did it make a difference when you went back, and what did you do while gone that you found that helped? I am giving great consideration to... — read more
LOVE THE NEW COMMERCIAL!
Shows a car spiraling down just like the toilet that Allstate has become.
Some people want out at any cost
A former coworker now works as a manager at a warehouse. He was so tired of Allstate that he was willing to accept a job that came with a drastic pay cut just to get out. I don't like this place either, but I don't think such drastic change is the... — read more
I did it
I got out. I gave my notice. The only thing I am going to miss are the incredible coworkers/friends I’ve made, and the ones that I know also aren’t happy… well, I hope they can get out also. I used to love my job here, but not anymore. It was... — read more
Pension
If you leave Allstate, cash out your pension as you leave as you cannot trust these crooks…Your pension is only a “promise” to pay….don’t trust that Allstate May break this promise to save some bucks somewhere down the road…… I would not put it past... — read more
Free cobra think again?
Just got off phone with Allsnake about Cobra subsidy for free Cobra. Allsnake now says they got more information and now I owe them money back? All snake is what they are. This company is BS. Run if your still working there in Hudson Ohio
Tom Wilson?
From what I have heard he was regarded as an excellent Sears executive, and a GREAT Allstate CFO, but now a mediocre CEO. What changed?
Legal Theft
Allstate is legally stealing from agents. Develop your exit strategy now. Time to call your congressional leaders.
Lead counsel/SCO
How many reductions in lead counsel positions will there be? There are 3 lead counsel at my office currently. If they will only be managing attorneys and not staff going forward, we probably only need 1(15 attorneys or so). Does anyone know anything... — read more
We can't even keep them for the training
You know things are bad when new hires are leaving even before the (pitiful as it is) training is completed. I think as soon as they get a taste of the famous Allstate "culture," they know they've made a huge mistake in joining. Not that I can blame... — read more
Is anyone in auto able to keep up?
Expectations at an all time high in auto but I see teammates consistently having below average to poor #s each day. Is anyone able to keep up with the demand or is everyone just drowning in work? Can’t read emails because I have to be on the phone... — read more
Putting in my 2 week notice tomorrow
It’s bittersweet. I am torn between completely telling management everything I want to say or just say f it and leave because there’s no point.
Allstate Vs. Allstate
How is it that all Allstate competitors are ex-Allstate? Everyone who was worth anything went to the competition. Literally, this company is beating itself up. This can only happen to management like this that we have, to surrender the best people to... — read more
They will never realize how bad agile is?
Another name for agile here is failure, just my two cents. I certainly hope to get out of here sooner than they realize the shortcomings of agile.
4th of July Fireworks
Juneteenth fell on Saturday & Claims got Friday off. Independence Day falls on a Sunday & claims doesn’t get Monday - although some departments do. I don’t get it.
Storm is brewing!
The losses are coming! Allstate and independent agents are writing a great deal of Non-Standard business through the Nat Gen channel. Allstate could never play in the nonstandard arena. Tom Wilson panicked in 2015 when his Auto loss ratio creeped up... — read more
Only now do I see how bad the situation here was
While I was at Allstate, I was aware that the company had a lot of problems and I thought the employees were not valued enough. Now that I’m in a new company, I can compare some things, I see that Allstate is a lot worse than I thought while I... — read more
For whom are jobs falling from the sky?
Or, why do some say that Allstate is just taking advantage of the situation and the job market being so bad, while others say that the situation is not nearly as bad and that they have received multiple offers so far? Who are these people from... — read more
Claims Town Hall --Thoughts?
Eric did acknowledge some of challenges Claims is facing....kind of. Meanwhile employees pulled off the phone for an hour of nonsense. Bring out the good talk- really? Let's open our wallets so the company gets credit for giving back. No comments in... — read more
Ashamed, Not Our Allstate
Allstaters used to be proud, bleed blue, re pmmend friends and family.Successes were celebrated, teams were cohesive. Service was superior, customers actually were first, and employees were treated decently. I noticed the shift when GS Glenn Shapiro... — read more
Conflicted
I am thinking of going back to what I majored in which is a different field but it literally pays half of what I make at allstate. I'm torn if I should leave or not. Allstate just doesn't excite me. My old field was so fun and exciting but the pay... — read more
I am genuinely curious why people still want to work here?
Is the a reason people are not leaving for a better job?
Agency compensation being cut again 2023?
Does anyone know how much the EA agency compensation is being cut by in 2023? There was a recent article about it but you have to be a subscriber in Crains. After cutting all those jobs, what more can they do? They cut the renewals to 9% in... — read more
Let's start a union...
so that the union can make lots of money and we foot the bill.
So many ungrateful people here
I was laid off six months ago. I still can't find a new job. Do you have any idea what I'd give to trade places with any of you? If things are so bad for you, then go ahead and quit! If more people had the courage of their convictions and did... — read more
Young folks leave as soon as they find anything else.
It’s the same story in the last two years or so. Younger folks start working here and then as soon as they find any other job in insurance they leave and then the company hires some more young people and they leave too. Maybe I’m just an old-timer... — read more

The grass IS greener
I started a new job three weeks ago and I’m kicking myself that I didn’t do so sooner. It is like a night and day experience. If you’re on the fence, do not hesitate to make a move. You will not regret it. Allstate is toxic. At least the legal... — read more
Union!!!
Just kidding, I'm not stupid. If you think allstate is screwing you over, there's tons of jobs out there that post better and require less effort... let allstate deal with the staging shortage since less people is what they're going for anyway. — read more
Thank you Allstate!!!
I want to thank this mismanaged Allstate corporation. Without you I wouldn’t have half the staff I currently have and I would’ve had to spend thousands training new employees. Because of you I have qualified people that are able to come in and run my... — read more
