So we have been informed that the point of transformative growth and the rif was to reduce operating expense to ultimately reduce rates. Yet here we are a few months later and have not reduced rates. What we have done is overburden employees with... — read more
Former Esurance employees & payout of Allstate pension plan
OK, for all of the former Esurance employees, that transitioned to Allstate, but were subsequently RIF'd in 11/2020... the vast majority of us did not have much in the Allstate pension plan since it had only been funded since around 6/2020, give or... — read more
How many hours would you lose?
I never looked at it that way before, but now that I've been working from home for a year I can't not see it. If I have to go back to the office, I'll lose nearly two hours of my life in commute. Two hours I've used in the past year to finally get a... — read more
Lied again
So I was in asic and was told that we were merging with rmbc and I would still be in asic but just help rmbc and had mandatory training in January. When training ended in late February it changed to since I was a band 3 had to go to rmbc but still... — read more
How many rounds of layoffs and bad moves have you survived?
I can’t even remember how many layoffs I survived here anymore. And not just layoffs but all sorts of awful moves. Every time I survive a layoff, I start looking for a new job but I end up staying until the next round of layoffs. Maybe it’s... — read more
Go back to the office and get shocked by how many of us are left....
I wonder how many people will be leaving by the summer and how many are currently looking for work? There aren’t many job opportunities now and Allstate benefits from that situation, but I think that soon there will be more and more offers for better... — read more
Dinner with Tom or Glenn
If you could sit down at a restaurant in Chicago and give TW OR GS some honest advise about Allstate, what would it be?
I wish I could leave
Under 40 years old but have 15 years in claims here. I've been well-salaried over the years and because of it can no longer get out. Im willing to take a pay cut for freedom and happiness but I'd be reducing my salary by 25% on the conservative side... — read more
Did Allstate get in trouble by the Dept of Insurance?
Does anyone know anything about this car seat remediation (corrective action) project? Apparently, Allstate is just issuing money on something like 20,000 claims that were audited and found that the CA car seat compliance was not asked. Now... — read more
One of our biggest issues right now
We have had so much turnover over the past 5 years that we were sc-aping the bottom of the barrel even before the layoffs. Now we are forced to fill the seats in mass due to being so short staffed. Combine the "bottom of the barrel" that makes up... — read more
All of Hudson claims is toast in June/July
Just heard from reliables. It means my job too.
Does Wilson deserve 60% approval?
Wilson's approval is currently 60% on Glassdoor. That means that the majority of employees think he's doing a bang up job. That came as a surprise. I know so few people who are satisfied at Allstate right now that I have no idea how his approval can... — read more
Fear of additional responsibilities
Is there anyone else who has been given so much responsibility because of lack of people that it is no longer normal? I’m starting to fear any extra work because Allstate has no limits and I am overwhelmed with more and more work every day... — read more
No other insurance company did what Allstate did?
I don’t see it as some kind of competition, but I am really embarrassed when I talk to friends from other insurance companies, because they all treated their employees much better during the pandemic. I know we have no influence there and that it is... — read more
Am I the only one who misses the office?
I am actually looking forward to the day I'll be able to go back to the office full time. I have four kids and I love each of them dearly but with everybody home I've been having trouble staying on target. I did set up an office in the basement but I... — read more
Choosing work from home may come back to bite you
The way we were told to present the work from home versus hybrid choice to our teams was to imply that chosing hybrid would show a greater commitment and effort in your job. In short they are going to hold chosing work from home against you almost... — read more
Has Allstate made the company contribution to 401k this year?
Haven't noticed anything, but maybe I missed it? Thought it was supposed to be by end of 1st quarter.
Work from home..until the layoffs come
I am saddened that some are looking forward to working from home, given that layoffs are almost certain and they will be worse than 2020. I do not intend to spread panic, I'm just making an observation that people quickly forget that this is an... — read more
Future workplace
Got my email, home based! Heck yeah!
Sinking along with the company...
Allstate is sinking deeper and deeper every day, and I am trying to leave as soon as possible because my career and my health are sinking along with it. Before I never thought that Allstate would become the company it is now. I wonder if the... — read more
Many incompetent agents?
You would be SHOCKED how many agents are incompetent. Its one thing if they don’t know but many won’t listen. For example if the insured fills out the mileage form incorrectly. I’ll say hey they just need to send in a mileage worksheet with two... — read more
How enthusiastic are the "new talents"?
I met one, and, while it wouldn't be fair to judge others based on him alone, I sincerely hope they are different because this young man has no enthusiasm for work at all. So this company laid off my colleague who was a top expert, to later hire... — read more
Two months would be enough for me
Two months' pay (even six weeks) would be enough as severance to get me to walk away right now. And I'd walk away happy. It would be just enough to give me time to rest for a few weeks and then find a new job. I'm so overworked right now that I don't... — read more
Exit from the life and annuity businesses
I wonder how much of a good move is the acquisition of the Allstate's New York unit by Wilton Re? This transaction has minimal impact on our strategy of increasing market share in personal property-liability and expanding protection solutions for... — read more
Choice of WFH or Hybrid??
So senior leadership has alluded they think we will be given the choice for a hybrid setting or work from home... anyone have any insight?
Transparency
For a company that demands transparency and boats about “transparency”, the lack of “transparency” is mind boggling. Especially, when you’re out in special projects and lied to about the parameters of the special project - so you question it and... — read more
customer service
are all customer service jobs going to be outsourced at some point? i was going to apply but i don't want to do it if allstate will send me packing a few months or so down the line. already been through that with my old company and i'd like to avoid... — read more
I wonder why attrition is not higher
With so many unhappy people working here, you'd think attrition would be higher than it has been for the past several years. Evenso, I'm not seeing any changes or upticks. This is truly a pity, because I'd love for a mass exodus event to happen and... — read more
Bad for your health
How many here are currently taking on multiple roles causing a huge amount of stress? How many here are truly getting recognized for doing a “job well done” other than it being lip service? Other than a paycheck what was your compensation for going... — read more
Allstate will never be Geico or Progressive
and will never defeat those companies on their home turf...EVER... Also, the pronouncements that Allstate is giving the majority of their customer base what they want is premature....and is yet to be seen... The last formal retention numbers... — read more
You really shouldn't worry
I'm yet to meet a person who left Allstate and regretted it later. I'm also yet to hear from somebody who was laid off who didn't end up in a better position. I know this is anecdotal evidence since I hardly know the entirety of Allstate workforce... — read more
Allstate, Cobra and the American rescue plan-Has anyone that lost their job in the last year received information on this?

Glenn the Butcher and Liberty Mutual
How long into his reign of terror and how much damage was done before Liberty Mutual finally ended up kicking Glenn to the curb?
The truth
The truth is allstate management views you all as very replaceable
When is Tom's next scheduled slur fest of lies and falsehoods?
I don't want to miss it! Last year most of us had our heads in the sand and believed the spring lies. This time we are onto you lying snakes. So Tommy Boy down those 10am martinis, kick back, grab your mic, and let the sh– show begin!
Unrealistic expectations
To the posts that are complaining about low pay, there aren't many customer service jobs or insurance non managerial jobs that pay over $25 an hour. You can say allstate is underpaid but it's in line with the market. Why would allstate pay $30 an... — read more
