It's terrible what mediocrities I have to work with here. Is it that there is no more professionalism or is it that nobody cares about being professional anymore?

I have to speak out about the market sales associate program and why it is failing. First I would bet that 75 % of new hires don't last 6 months. Most fail or leave because they are constantly on probation. Allstate burns through cash recruiting... — read more 

claims counts are down. the issue is adjusters don't want to do any work, as usual. they just want to show up, 9-5 and draw a paycheck. this isn't a 9-5 job though. we're here for the customer. these adjusters don't get it. leaving on time is leaving... — read more 

I heard the lump-sum is dropping. Is this true?

Honestly a good point, and shows how much skill and insight he has

Something to keep in mind!

Anybody else notice Tom say we need to increase prices and reduce costs? What are the cost reductions they have in mind?

Do not register and attend this online meeting It will send the message that we need better leadership in 2023

Third party reps are impossible to manage effectively which is a direct issue for TG. How is this so hard for the corporate gang to understand? They are the face of the company so yes when they show up looking like trash or are rude or are making... — read more 

It is quite understandable why many have come to hate their job here, a job they once enjoyed. The problem is, however, that many stay despite having lost all motivation. However, if all those who despise working here left, I wonder who would remain... — read more 

Tommy "strongly encourages" us to return to available and open offices per today's connections meetings. Some of us saw this coming. They couldn't sell and turn over a lot of the offices during the pandemic so now they want them to be used. We can... — read more 

Did anyone else notice someone wrote "I miss job security :(" in the Connections meeting? It happened at 10:05 am CST. AVK was bold to just openly say that.

I have no inside knowledge but I wouldn't be surprised if Tom Wilson suddenly retired also right before selling us all out to vendors and takes his money

What's the point of bringing somebody to a meeting to share his experiences if you're going to ignore him the entire meeting? All that was achieved was wasting my time. I wasn't even allowed to say anything, and I certainly tried. Higher-ups like to... — read more 

It's about to get wild

It is very strange to me that we are both “Allstate” products, but handle claims totally different. No roof process in Nat Gen/Encompass- if you have an Nat Gen/Encompass policy- you can get a new roof with 4 hits compared to Allstate 11 hits. ... — read more 

Within the last decade, I’ve noticed its reputation crashing. Take lawyers, whether defense or plaintiff. I do not ever hear good things said. I hear words like lowball and cheap. Agents are miserable. Employees are miserable. Is anyone pleased? Are... — read more

Has anyone read "Flushy: a Tale of Corporate Satire in the Insurance Industry"?? Reminds me a lot of this horrid place.

Mario's coming for you.... Stay tuned.

I was a long term employee. I was driving in my car and saw what looked like a closed agency. I am in a MAJOR metropolitan area (got this company their growth results). An old, aged sign in a location was not taken down and in effect looks like our... — read more 

He would be a perfect fit. He has shown he has the integrity, skills, and would be one of the few people who could get Allstate personal lines back on track

I think it is only fair to let you all know what is coming for agents in terms of the changes in underwriting and agency services. Things will be changing big time for our agents. *Underwriting will be about 90% automated and AI. No more... — read more 

I've learned that there are things more important than money - including a normal workload, doing something you enjoy, and a good work environment - so I decided to accept an offer that is 15 percent under my current pay. It's not ideal, but I think... — read more 

I'm in asdu and management told us in the meeting every department will get met with last week individually. I just want to see if that's true or do you work in a department that hasn't had a meeting or heard anything?

Allstate management preaches transparency and I'll give them a little credit that they gave us a few months advance before layoffs in 2020 and also this year. However, they pretend like they don't know the areas and timeline. The people that post on... — read more

I was skeptical about the stories that the grass is much greener in other companies. Now I don't have any dilemma anymore. What is the probability that somewhere could be worse than here? Very small, almost non-existent.

I have worked in several companies both in this industry and outside of this industry, but nowhere have I experienced such bad treatment as here. Applying to Allstate was my biggest mistake. Did you also get the impression that the superiors... — read more 

nothing was said about layoffs. They’re filling the roles of people who have left. Just a lot of shifting work and opening up phone lines so everyone can take calls. (That means working holidays I’m sure). And attorney mail. Sounds like so much... — read more 

Everyone here says that it's not worth putting in too much effort and exhausting yourself because Allstate doesn't value it. That I agree with, however, can we all apply that advice here? My opinion is that we cannot. Some may be able to work on... — read more
