I've had enough of Allstate. So long and thanks for all the fish. Happiness would be more complete if I had given notice even earlier, but... I'm happy as a little kid that I won't be here anymore. Happiness is proportional to the amount of stress... — read more 

Pressure and tensions have become so common here and people are having to get used to it in order to endure the whole situation until they manage to find a new job. However, lately I have been finding it harder to bear the pressure. Running was once... — read more 

I called the benefits center and I was told that the benefits management service still has not instituted the Federal Cobra coverage. How is this possible?!

I am hearing rumors

I guess it's not surprising considering everything we have to go through each day but I've definitely noticed that this place changes people for the worse. People are far less friendly and less willing to help out after a few years here. And those... — read more 

Which department are you in?

There has been chatter regarding a bombshell class action lawsuit that is forthcoming in the near future. Hopefully we will see some activity before the annual meeting.

Two of my coworkers got fired last month. Good employees, responsible workers, long–timers….. There was no apparent reason for firing them. A couple of months before that our manager changed his behavior towards them. He started dumping massive loads... — read more 

For context I work in the CCC and am fine with workload and work life balance. However, I keep seeing how awful claims is. Does anyone else outside claims dislike their department?

The Fair Labor Standard Act which is anything but fair says that a company can work you like a slave(no overtime) so the company can make a profit for their shareholders if you’re an Executive, administrator or have professional job duties??? (Vague... — read more 

F this company and how they treat their employees. I’m beyond disgusted that I am forced to deal with their sh–t.

I understand there are some rough departments to work for at Allstate. No denying that. But there are many good and fun areas to work within the company and those areas are hiring and much less prone to layoffs. If you are in what you feel is a rough... — read more 

Very excited to be going back to the office in July. 2020 was a very difficult year but overall was an outlier. Things are going back to normal and can't wait to see my allstate family again

How many of you stayed here just because you thought that in a company where you could possibly get a job, the grass is not much greener? A colleague almost turned down a job offer because he was afraid that he would encounter very similar problems... — read more 

Seems like a good way to get out.

I'm a hard worker. I never before complained about the amount of work we're required to do but enough is enough. The goals are becoming so unattainable that I'm working so long each day I'm constantly forced to outsource the care of my kids so I can... — read more

Are there layoffs happening in legal? I am an claim rep working with attorneys and something is going on.

I had a colleague tell me to “take ownership” of my career a few weeks ago. I’ve had that on my mind since. I’m curious to see what that may mean to others. Does it mean get out before you’re kicked out? Does it mean to always be looking for your... — read more 

Allstate laid off half the claims department and sent even more jobs to India. Everyone’s workload was doubled and customer service took a nose dive. Customers did not like this so they began switching to other carriers in droves. Remaining employees... — read more 

If you're still reading this, I have a question. When you gave your two weeks notice, did your manager expect you to stay on for two more weeks or were you asked to leave immediately? It's not that important if I stay on for those two weeks, but if... — read more 

Can anyone substantiate the rumor that Allstate Commercial is for sale? Not that it's a big deal, commercial has never produced any significant numbers to the company's bottom line. With their antiquated underwriting and zero appetite, TW could... — read more

Does anybody know the questions for the timed portion of the assessment? Any clues or even the name of the test would be helpful.

Get out when you can and do not look back.

I am a newer–ish employee and really confused

Fingers crossed that a significant decrease in retention will be reported during the earnings call....

We work so hard every day, breaking our backs to get everything done in time despite being severely overworked and for what? So that the company can use us up, step all over us, and then dismiss us like we never existed. This is a truly shameful way... — read more

Per today's meeting. Take that as you will.

Curious who is taking this and why or why not.
