As a retired Allstate Claim employee, it deeply saddens me to see what the company has become and how you are now being treated. The benefits were very good for our “generation”, the work was fun, and we cared about the customer and the company. With the pension lump sum, company match, and 401K, I was able to retire at age 59 1/2., something most people in any industry couldn’t dream about.
Now it appears the company has slashed benefits and has no desire to reward loyalty, longevity, or good work. Oh, we were lied to as well when in 2015, the company took away the retiree life insurance policy they promised us.
Most folks who leave Allstate end up better paid and happier, so while it might look bleak now, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Hang in there...Whether you stay or leave, I wish you the best.

I feel almost as bad for our customers as I do for employees. Our product is plain and simple a false promise.
To add, everyone used to get double digit pay raises.
I just retired last week and now concerned about health benefits. Had everything set with my case manager and now not sure if I will be eligible for the insurance..ugh.72
I think in a very unintentional way this is the best outcome. It’s nice to see people from before passing the good vibes on to us. I am very excited to move forward Away from this company.
Thank you kind stranger. It is appreciated. Well said.
