Allstate used to advertise the quality of claim service in all advertising.At one time it was “top tier.” It was a source of pride. It is not coincidence that none of the new commercials mention “claim service.” The current state of Allstate claim... — read more
Allstate can no longer afford to be a safe harbor employer
Supply and demand for human beings to do the work of Allstate in a mega competitive insurance industry is what it is. Allstate needs to do things better, faster, cheaper. The shareholders demand it. The policyholders demand it too. If Allstate can be... — read more
Looks like Home Depot is hiring
Buy an IA company, sell the prop life company and then announce relationship with home warranty coverage with Home Depot? Where you guys been the last two days on this one?
New normal?
More work for the same money is by design and is now expected of you and is your new norm. You have been devalued by design. And as tired as you are of working long hours they don’t care and this is again expected of you and this friend is your **new... — read more
The fact is, there is dead weight at Allstate
The only problem is they're never the ones who get the boot once it's time for layoffs. Imagine how great this place could be if for once they decided not to cut people based on how much they make but based on how much they contribute to the company?... — read more

The firings are still taking place?
Didn't we have a round of mass firings in June? I thought they were done with that but now I see there are still firings going on. Is what I've been reading a solitary case or are they still systematically reducing numbers using firings for even the... — read more
They keep piling more on us
For those that survived the layoffs we are the biggest losers. We work mandatory Saturday rotations and deal with screaming customers, agents and shops wondering why cars haven’t been inspected in over 2-3 weeks . Then also, Rentals aren’t not... — read more
Sacrificed a lot for Allstate
As an exempt employee I love my coworkers and sacrificed a lot for Allstate, often working overtime for free to fix problems. But that stops now. My work effort drops 50% and I don't GAF anymore. They keep telling us "they need to cut costs" but on... — read more
I just switched and saved!
Goodbye, overpriced Allstate. I just switched to Progressive and saved over $300 every 6 months on my automobile insurance! One car, one driver, clean driving record, clean loss record, multi-policy discount, and 30+ year customer. I saved almost... — read more
Force out!!
I was surprised to get a letter from Allstate benefits saying they were paying my pension, since I was laid off. He said they may or may not charge all the taxes bc of the forced layoff. Will they charge the penalty for being under the retirement... — read more
Got fired today
Got fired today for “performance” after not meeting the unreasonable UN requirements. Life goes on..
This is the deal
Seems like Allstate is getting rid of any area/division that is not profitable enough. I predict they'll only want to be an auto and home insurance company. Glen and Tom and all of the other a-holes are just waiting to get bought out. Do what's... — read more
Charlotte office
Will Allstate move out of Innovation Park and all work be homebound?
This is Transformative Growth
None of us are valued whether laid off or a current employee. They haven't valued employees for a number of years now. And the fact the positions eliminated are re-posted at lower pay bands shows they don't even value the work itself like they... — read more
We are nothing but numbers
Do you think anybody in the ELT even realizes they have human beings working for them? It seems to me that they see a number on the paper and they don't even try to visualize what or who is behind that number. That there are actual people and their... — read more
What is the best path out of Claims?
As someone who has spent years as an auto claims adjuster, I am just ready to get out. Other that have experience in applying, what do you think is the best path out of claims for someone with a degree? Open to other areas of insurance as... — read more
Recovering from the stress
Before I got laid off from Allstate, I noticed that the company had a very shaky reputation and I became ashamed to reveal to new acquaintances where I work. I used to be proud to have worked here, but at one point I became embarrassed. I got a new... — read more
You know what's the worst?
It's not that I was laid off after more than a decade of exemplary work and it's not that the severance was nowhere near what it should have been to show me that I was valued by the company for my contributions over the years. No, it's the fact that... — read more
To anyone who works in ALR
Remember before you get laid off that you can get up to five occurrences before you face any consequences from Allstate. Eat your currents can be used up to 5 days. Remember to use these before you leave Allstate!!!
Property and Casualty
Do you think more cuts are coming to property and casualty this year? I’m sure there are. This is just speculation. Which departments do you think if so?
Do you remember your first day here?
For me, that was five years ago. I entered this company full of enthusiasm and my superiors assured me that everyone here could make progress based on their effort and performance. It didn’t take me long to realize that the reality was different, but... — read more
Would you take a pay cut to leave this place?
I haven't been happy here for a while. I was offered a job recently but it comes with a 30 percent pay cut, which is not insignificant. I've been here long enough that a 30 percent less money than I make now will not hurt me too much in the long run... — read more
Allstate, where you're in hands, hands of people who are not cared for.
Allstate is a trash company! They don't care about their employees and only care about profit. The sale of their life insurance division is unbelievable. Tom Wilson is a joke and how he ever became head of Allstate is unbelievable. F*** Allstate and... — read more
Conditions sure improving
Not. Looks like the non employees pushing people to "protest" really did a number on some of you. Zero impact, probably because the people who didn't work don't do anything anyway. Now the few who have legit gripes and bought in to it, are not... — read more
What does the Allstate Life sale mean for the National General purchase?

Sale of Allstate Life Insurance
Everyone who works in ALR - we got an email we are being sold. Call tomorrow.
Allstate Leadership
Anyone else feel that Allstate leadership is running the sales organization into the ground. Good indication is # of agencies for sale and morale is definitely at all time low. Agents are forced to chat with every department and mandating company... — read more
Does anyone now or in the past worked at progressive?
I'm pretty much ready to start job hunting even though I'm still at allstate because Allstate is being run into the ground. Has anyone went to progressive or worked for progressive, if so what's it like?
Uber claims
Curious is anyone on here is handling Uber or Lyft claims. Is it better than personal lines?
About 2/3 of the way through the Shapiro Plan
We are about 60% through Shapiro's Liberty Mutual plan that almost destroyed that company. Started with continuous improvement scam over a period of a few years, slow budget cutting towards employee incentives, recognition, and overall morale, and... — read more
We are the boiling frog
Did you notice that Allstate's switch from a place where you could have a career to a job with zero job security happened gradually? At one time you could build a successful career here, then it became mostly a regular job with a one-off promotion... — read more
1/25 went unnoticed
I totally forgot that the poorly planned wasted effort was Monday. My guess is the only ones stupid enough to participle were lousy performers who don’t produce much anyway. Laziness and excuses won’t get you far in the corporate world! — read more
Are you still trying to be a top performer?
After my colleague and friend, a big workaholic who gave this company more than one hundred percent of himself for many years, was axed, I realized some things. He was the man I thought with least chances of anyone to get axed, and that’s exactly... — read more
Additional Income
Wondering how many Allstate employees on this board have a second job or some kind of side businesses? Just curious...
How are you spending your 5 hours today?
Got the Xbox going and waiting on pizza and wings to be delivered. May just make this an all day thing.
