It’s important to consider where most of the responses are coming from. For the majority of us who have been employed at Allstate for years, we joined the company back then and the rules were quite different. You basically had a job for life unless you truly messed up. We were encouraged in many ways to spend our entire career here. But then the rules changed and for those well into their careers that’s hard to accept. For those fairly new you’re coming in with a different mindset and different rules and expectations. Some may know coming in that they will be changing companies several times during their career and there’s nothing wrong with that. So if you see complaints concerning disgruntled employees please see it from a different perspective than your own.

It was awesome back in the old days. It was family. I have so many friends from Allstate.
So many lost jobs to overseas, cutbacks, etc., but anyone who leaves still mentions the people that they worked with was the best part of Allstate.
Please bring out the unfair labor practices attorneys ! Bring on some help to the PEOPLE. If this little posting site has ex HR folks on it, I’m sure they got the goods for some legal shark to help all of us leftovers “make lots of money”. It’s the American thing to do. Sorry Tom and Glen. TG is backfiring on you.
No worries @wtc+1bSmgO4x i worked for years at Allstate HR, we were TOLD to write up anyone who MENTIONED the word union which was a clear NLSA violation and I have docs to show.Friends still work there and trying to get out.
This company needs a union and Im not a union minded person, but this TG garbage requires it.Its coming dont worry allstaters and WONT be all bad.
I agree with @let+1bSmgO4x
OP opinion is not shared.
I also been with Allstate 10 years and have same experience. I lost complete trust in TG upper management who espouse Transparency, and Caring, and then fire people by salary using a trumped up tetris "Personality Test" that Glen could see his results, but none of us (including those let go) were shared the results. That was a giant pile of HR BS and if you are d-mb enough to buy into the legitimacy of that RIF farce youre and id--t, Im sorry.
But NOW the line being given to managers as I here is "Tell the workers "thats behind us now lets move forward" Well guess what the world doesn't work that way, and businesses operate on reputations, even professionalized ones such as D&B and AM Best. This TG team cut expenses then hires some id--ts to create stupid commericals, cuts our producers income, and expects to grow our market share.
Heres what will happen: no share growth will occur. TG team will cut MORE people and move more jobs (like other poster said) to AI and India to preserve their own until their get canned eventually by the directors/shareholders and parachute out.
All I would say is if you really want to know how a company is operating, and you ARE an investor, POLL the WORKERS dont listen to the bs from management.
Higher then anticipated turnover has occurred since the reduction in force. Really? Is anyone shocked by that? This company used to attract people with good benefits but those has been slashed, frozen or cut. The exodus is occurring.
But since turnover has been higher than anticipated, the company developed an accelerated training program.
If you have tenure with company ride it out till you can get out, if your new, well, good luck you are going to have an awful career at this company under the current exec management team. But what do I know. Only have 25 years of experience in insurance.
And a hello to home office monitors! if you dont think they are here then you werent paying attention to the linked in hit posts during the RIF. Have fun finding me.
Been with Allstate for 10 years, and have many co-workers that have been here 15, 20, 25, 30 years and longer. The Allstate of 20-30 years ago that I hear about from colleagues simply does not exist anymore. He-l, the Allstate of 5 years ago does not exist anymore. I'm hanging on because this was at one time a great place to work and I'm hopeful, or was hopeful, we could get back to that point. I survived TG last year but was given a new job without any say in the matter, and the whole thing left me a bad feeling that I cannot shake. I feel valued by my co-workers and immediate managers, but that's where it ends. What I learned from TG is that the top leaders at Allstate do not value or respect their employees, and they will always make decisions that benefit the bottom line. Basically, profits over people. I've given my new job a chance but it's been a sh-t show, and I'm tired and ready to move on. I'm afraid that our current reality (insane workload, jobs moving overseas or to AI, etc.) is the new reality.
OP please explain what you mean by
“Different rules”, “Different Expectations”. Abuse is abuse. Sounds like you’re trying to pigeon ho-e what the perspectives are of tenured and non tenured groups. I’ve been here 3 years and it’s not at all what I “expected”. I didn’t expect the company was going to lay off thousands of people in a worldwide pandemic just so the CEO and his buds could make more
money. I didn’t expect they would ship our jobs off to India. I didn’t expect to have quadruple the work load and be a test hatch for AI. I didn’t expect to have zero opportunities for growth. What I did expect is to be respected and that didn’t happen as evidenced by all I just said. I’m naive or I was until all this sh-t happened. You don’t speak for the millennials. We see right through this mess. You are a troll. It’s just not a good job and most of us young or old here are looking for another one.
