Let’s have a real vote that Allstate can’t manipulate. Thumbs up if you agree that Tom Wilson the CEO needs to be replaced. Thumbs down if you think Tom is doing a good job with this company......
Allstate syndrome
Allstate has its own version of Stockholm syndrome - employees who've been here long enough that they've gotten used to the mistreatment and will defend anything Allstate does with every fiber of their being. I'm not sure if I should feel sorry for... — read more
What would you do to improve the situation?
I see so much complaining here but very few suggestions on what could be done to improve things. It's very easy to criticize, but do you think you'd be able to do better? Tell me, what is it that the management can do to improve the situation? What... — read more

How long did it take you to recover from Allstate?
I moved to a new company and apparently also transferred all my frustrations from Allstate. I am very anxious and I think they will call me at any moment to give me criticism, more work and layoff. I am wary of backstabbing and too distrustful of... — read more
Under what conditions would you accept an offer to back to a job?
I haven’t heard of many cases of Allstate offering people their jobs back, but I’ve seen here that it happened in one unit. I don’t know how desperate someone would have to be to accept that offer or under what conditions they would accept it, but... — read more

The only thing Allstate does well is fall behind
With layers upon layers of middle managers, draconian IT security policy (such as the whole PEAP process), and use of outdated tooling really shows how castrated the company is when it comes to being able to get work done quickly and efficiently, and... — read more

Equipment return
I’ve been gone for over two months and they have never contacted me about laptop and monitor return. Is that normal? Who do I even contact about that?
Piling up layers of middle management
I swear that’s all this company is doing. Not to mention that most of these positions are pretty much useless and the company could function fine even if they didn't exist. Whenever layoffs come all the people that I see getting cut are regular... — read more
The dr-g addiction, alcoholism, and mental illness Allstate causes

Scared that I will not get severance
That’s the only reason I’m still here and I know I’m not the only one. However, I am more and more afraid that I will not even get it. I just hope that the rumor that they might run out of severance in the next round of layoffs was devised by someone... — read more
Staying on good terms?
I gave 2 weeks notice and only a few more days separate me from getting rid of this ridiculous company. It’s certainly the longest two weeks ever, I have a feeling the day lasts 48 hours. I decided not to leave immediately, though I must say I don't... — read more
Lots of PTO - but nickle and dimed

Claims interviews being done by India leaders
Wow. The claims positions posted out there that are not based in India (which is most of them) are having leaders in India doing most of the interviews. If this doesn't prove the repeatedly stated move of most claims functions to India I don't know... — read more
Medical coverage
How many of us are basically held hostage here by medical coverage? It s—s but I can't just leave and risk losing health insurance in the middle of a pandemic. That is literally the only thing that's keeping me from walking out each day. If I had a... — read more
