Customers tell me that they don’t like:
- not being able to understand customer service reps, due to their accents and the language barrier
- how hard it is to get help from someone capable of solving the problem. They report spending hours making repeated calls or chatting for help, or being transferred repeatedly.
- being forced to go through a robot first
- being unable to reach their agents, or being transferred by the robot to their agent when the agent told them to call allstate for help
Basically all of these pain points are the result of cost cutting measures.
I would say more, but it would expose more about what part of the org I work in, and I don’t trust Allstate not to retaliate against me.
My team recently provided feedback on the Allstate Asks survey about things going to he-l. I would not be surprised if we were suddenly laid off.
Not a good time to be an Allstater, from where I sit. There have been some decisions from middle and senior managers that are harmful to people’s well-being. As usual, Performance Reviews this time of year is an absolute joke. Not because ratings are lower than they need to be, per se, but after almost another year of practically zero performance management, it’s time to check a box and give people thoughtless reviews that serve as the last word on job performance. No negotiation.
