Topics regarding layoffs at Allstate Corp.

Stay the course

Don’t give them the satisfaction of quitting right now. They want to get rid of as many of us as they can while paying as little as possible. Don’t think that benefit cuts and overall increase in bullying by managers is not planned. They’re trying to... — read more 

People who come back

I know two people who came back to Allstate after they got laid off and after that talked all the worst about this company. Is the job market so bad that people agree to come back here or does Allstate give some much better terms than they had... — read more 

Exaggerating mistakes, downplaying merit

I really can't stand this company anymore. My supervisor is always there to minimize and devalue all employee merits. It would somehow be bearable if he was not inclined to exaggerate all the mistakes at the same time or what he thinks is wrong... — read more 

Acceptance and Embrace Change

Acceptance of the reality that Allstate is not the same company as it was 5-30 years ago must be understood. It is a very cut and dry company that favors the shareholders and upper management. Customers and rank and file employees are considered to... — read more

The management knows it can do whatever it wants

I keep hoping the management will finally see some consequences for their st—d decisions with so many people gone through layoffs and attrition and not enough people left to do the actual work. But despite below market compensation, barely any... — read more 

Allstate Financial

kiss the life company goodbye. Underwriters will be gone soon as the fold that sinking ship. 4 billion dollars lost

Stock price

Its 122.06 at the moment. You work for a publicly traded company, and that is all that matters. You have your 401k money in Allstate? Guess what...you are making money. You got stock options...oops I forgot most on this site barely make 15 an... — read more 

I hope Allstate fails

Even if that means I'd be out of a job when it does. At least I'd know the leadership would finally see some consequences for what they did to this place. It's hard to imagine (although sadly not impossible) that anybody would put them in charge of... — read more 

Embellishing the truth

I believe there are many people who have found much better jobs after Allstate, but I have noticed that most of them embellish the truth and exaggerate things. I know a person who boasted that she got a great job, that her life is now much better... — read more 

Inspire Survey

Get pumped! Not many questions about senior executives and officers on it. Do they do that to prevent criticism?

The only good thing left

The only good thing left about Allstate are its people. There are still fantastic people working here, people who could turn this place around if they were given the opportunity. Sadly, with the current management that values "yes men" over merit and... — read more 

Proxy

It’s that time of year to do your part and vote Tom Wilson and his corporate raiders the exit door when you fill out your proxy card. Spread the word to remove this POS and the rest of the board from destroying Allstate any further. Spread the word — read more 

Uptick in short term disability

Has anyone noticed an uptick in employees out on STD? It seem like more and more employees are out for months at a time for mental health breaks? I have not been with the company that long to really have a baseline.

Brand value

How much does Allstate lose on its brand value due to outsourcing?

What do emotionally invested people expect?

It's funny to me that there are still people here who are emotionally invested in Allstate and think this company will someday recognize that. These are the ones who unfortunately will not learn from the mistakes of others. They think that others are... — read more 

Disappointment every time

Even Tawn Hall meetings have become miserable in this company. I wish I had missed this one and many of the previous ones. It just confirms once again that this is one ridiculous company with a lot of people who are not competent to be in the... — read more 

Town Hall

So. No questions about layoffs? Boy. Talk about a bunch of propaganda. Wonder if the question askers were held hostage? I think I noticed them blinking in Morse code.

Today’s Town Hall

Is it just me or is Tom face excessively red. Why is this company ran by a bunch or washed up dinosaurs??? This company needs some new younger top executives & a new CEO that is in touch with today market. Looks like we will continue to fall down in... — read more 

Boring, repetitive work

Am I the only one who is bored senseless with his work right now? I know it's the same work I've been doing for the past eight years, but at least before we had incentives in better pay and better benefits. We also had realistic and achievable goals... — read more 

A suggested process for implementing new metrics

Before new increased goals and metrics are applied and forced on the employees. All front line leaders and Division Managers should first have to meet the new metrics for at least 3 consecutive days before they are implemented. These people are over... — read more 

Major Release April Assessment

Anyone get an email notification about Major Release April Assessment? Very vague not details just meeting scheduled.

Geico is hiring

For all those who hate Allstate: Geico is hiring right now in several markets. Other insurers are hiring as well but my understanding is that Geico is the coveted employer. So go ahead and leave. Join the better competitor. Leave those of us who... — read more 

It would be interesting to see them in our place

Welcome to the company of unrealistic goals. There is no creative strategy that helps you reach them. Supervisors set unrealistic goals in front of (almost) all employees, except themselves. I would like to know how any of the superiors who think... — read more 

Fed stumulus cobra

Called HR today about free cobra for FED stimulus. Of course, they don’t know anything yet and working to see the requirements of the passed bill. Allstate never has any answers for past employees. If your still working for this as—e company... — read more 

Want a promotion?

Join another company. You won't get it here no matter how hard you work. All the positions are reserved for friends, family, or sycophants. If there's nobody who at that moment fits that description, they'll bring in somebody from the outside. The... — read more

That’s our stand

American workers suck! We use our loyal customers with good risk to overpay in order to subsidize low rates for those with poorer risk. We use a game to decide who should be employed by us but willing to take “bad game players” back if they are... — read more

Management knows nothing

I work in ASIC. To be fair, most of the managers in the department are good people. However, last month managers had to take one chat at a time and I was BLOWN AWAY at some of the basic questions managers asked that I learned as a new hire. Some... — read more 

A Marketing team with ZERO diversity, sounds about right?

Does anyone else think it's odd that the Consumer Marketing department has no diversity. The only demographic who receives promotions and who is hired are white women. So much for inclusion and diversity that the company said they were looking to... — read more

I got no training whatsoever?

I think this is the only company where your manager doesn't provide any training for new employees. I started a couple of months ago and whatever question I asked my manager he directed me towards some older coworkers who were also not eager to... — read more 

Is there anything Allstate is still competitive at?

Pay has been below the industry standard for a while now. Benefits have been getting slimmer and slimmer every year. Goals have become all but impossible to achieve. So what exactly is there to attract new employees with? Why would anybody join... — read more 

Management is evil

Since the coronavirus management has done nothing but tell lies and they enjoy making employees uncomfortable and stressed. For example, with the layoffs and acting like they didn't know who would be laid off. Then laying off too many people and... — read more
