Discounted insurance
The benefits are already lousy, but then the discount on the product that we provide is garbage. 1% off insurance? Seems very few Allstate employees actually have Allstate for insurance, quite a reflection on the company.

Hello, can any of the eSurance folks in claims tell me if claims processor was a role in your organization prior to your rebranding to Allstate? Asking for a friend. Thank you.

Why take an assessment when our productivity is easily accessible?
If we are data driven company then why not look at that data to identify your top performers to keep or move into another role? The numbers don’t lie but your “leaders” do.
Allstate went from the best to the worst
Allstate has paid employees who search social media for anyone/anything bad about them on all formats of social media. Paid employees to spin bad press. The company has become unethical and stingy cheap. The public and and the former kool-aid... — read more

Esurance
Does any one have any info on esurance claims? What will Allstate do with the esurance field & desk appraisers?
Glen Shapiro is reasonable.
