Transformative growth end game

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 

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

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 

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 

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 

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

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

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

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

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 

The truth

The truth is allstate management views you all as very replaceable

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
