There has not been any significant bounce from the stock drop after the decline at the increased reserving an November…even as the overall market has recovered.. Tommy and Wilson trying what Sears tried: selling assets and property, cutting staff... — read more
I wish they would hurry up and lay me off
There are zero incentives left to want to stay here. The only reason I'm not quitting is severance.
Bye Allstate
Today was my last day!!! Good riddance and may your stock continue to tumble!!! That's what you get for treating your employees like dirt, Tommy Boy!!!!!
Vendor enrollment
Just heard from a good friend (ex Allstater) who now manages an independent firm that Allstate is shopping vendors for property handling. Adjusters take notice if you have been in doubt! This is 100% confirmed!
ATSV Town Hall this Morning - Job Cuts Coming
Just had our town hall. The question of increasing salaries to keep up with inflation was raised. I laughed at this one! Suren had just said earlier how they are looking to cut costs. He danced around the issue and stated Allstate is competitive... — read more
Allstate is very good at demoralizing employees
There are no words to describe what it was like to be continuously demoralized and criticized by my superior who probably wanted to convince me that after almost ten years of working here, I don't know how to do my job. There is no better feeling... — read more
Anyone know when we return to office
My leader wont tell me anything. I also heard from an A band claims employee that they are letting all senior management and above go in the next 5 years
RIF
I’ve heard from someone in Tech. RIF is coming 6 months or less. Not sure what department is gonna get hit in tech or all departments. Anyone knows more ???
California
Allstate California has hit hard against its agents from the folks I’m talking to. Large 50% down payments and agents are fuming and plenty are ready to throw in the towel. Buckle up
Everybody should read this (and follow this advice)

The Sunday Scaries
Another terrible Sunday evening as we approach another horrifying Monday at this vile disgusting God awful company. The headache, nausea, and dread of what another week of He-l will be cast upon us. Waking up every hour just hoping there are still 8... — read more
External vendor hiring to reduce costs
It is not true. Allstate doesn't reduce their costs this way. They would still have to pay that vendor. An operating expense is an operating expense regardless if they pay you or someone else does.
I want to be laid off! Please!
It is to the point where this company has become just unbearable to work for. And not so much the work volumes as those are not that bad in my area. But just the horrible and demoralizing culture and the constant threats of layoffs and being set up... — read more
Tom and Glenn lost millions yesterday
Do you feel at all bad for them?
Tech-Cor Collision Repair Center - Permanently Closed
Sad day for the Collision Repair Industry today.
Confirmed Layoffs starting in August through end of year
All that is being said is U.S. based employees to be hit hard. No real specifics to actual department. Supposedly transfer of employees to contractors in play too. Hearing over 10,000 to be laid of or transferred to contractors. Info from person with... — read more
Understanding competitors
Some say that working for the main competitors is not much better and that it is best to leave this industry altogether, and some say that competitors generally offer much better conditions than Allstate. Who to trust?
It’s not only inflation…
Tommy always points the finger at everything but his and Shapiro’s failed business strategy…
….and Reality Sets In
Trying to lower auto rates with too much overhead proves to be a disastrous recipe. Looks like Wall Street has finally caught on. Let the knee je-k management begin!
Customer Facing WSRs are coming
With the vast reduction of CCC and claims coming we have been tasked since May to create a WSR process that customers can submit through app and online. Customer Service will be more self service when the contractors replace most of many customer... — read more
Quit Today
Today was my last day. I got an offer from a competitor, 10k more in salary. Bye Allstate!!!! Won't miss you at all LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO
Time to buy
Hey Tommy, Time to buy another overpriced underperforming carrier to try to hide the customers on the Allstate books running for the exits….
Leadership at Geico and Progressive
…are laughing their as@@s off and Liberty Mutual is breathing a sigh of relief that Shapiro is now Allstates nightmare…
Strengthened reserves
Claim trends are so unfavorable, Allstate needed to pour another 500 million into the pot… Allstate thought that getting rid of hundreds of years of experience to save money in expenses would not have an impact.. Well now Shapiro is seeing claims... — read more
Transactional Growth Plan
Sad times are coming at Allstate. The competitors are full steam ahead of Tommy Boy with growth plans while Tommy is still blaming agents for lack of sales and inflation propaganda that Wall Street buys every quarter. 4% commission is an insult to... — read more
Underwriting soon to be totally automated
Accepts will be an accept, rejects will be a reject with no more questioning and no rebuttals, and no decisions will either be be kicked to accept or reject by the bots and AI. There will be no more live underwriting service. Totally automated and... — read more
So many inflated egos
Happiness after leaving this place is understandable, but mostly everyone who leaves Allstate starts acting like everything will fall apart without them. Why is that? No, it won't, we are just numbers here, like many who were here before us. People... — read more
SERVICE PEOPLE - WOEK ITEMS GONE FROM GATEWAY
You will now need to use dash and eagent
Are things as bad as they seem from here?
Reading this site, the situation seems dire, especially in claims. Is it really? And please explain what is the new Workflow management micromanagement tool? I have not used it….
Only those who have no other options are still here
And I'm not talking about much better opportunities either. I'm almost certain that most people would leave Allstate as long as they get some decent, acceptable offer. I personally know several people who accepted an even worse job, just to get out... — read more
Advertising
Allstate ads have totally disappeared.. TG is working so well that money set aside for advertising needed to be used to control margins…. Great job Tommy and Glen…..
I quit today
My boss called me ungrateful. Ungrateful? Because I have so much to be grateful for working at Allstate, right? Getting cr---y pay while being overworked is such an amazing thing. Having to deal with him every day and suffer through his tantrums was... — read more
Are Tom, Glenn, or Eric Narrissists?
Because I don’t know if they are THAT cold hearted.
Do everything all over again
I am more than frustrated. Venting here won't help me, but I wonder if anyone else has to deal with a manager who constantly gives different instructions, which is why you have to constantly rework things in the end? Terrible incompetence! I'm... — read more
Wilson is a staple of the Chicago community
If you look at his history there, he is very well regarded.
Customers more difficult than ever
Ever since I started working here more than seven years ago, I have never dealt with more difficult customers. This means that customers are increasingly dissatisfied with Allstate. Have you too noticed that they are increasingly dissatisfied?
Agent here
We were told this week that within the next few months ASIC will be completely moved to a vendor in Mexico and that is who will be servicing agents. Also underwriting will have no agency support at all and will be totally eliminated. Us agents are... — read more
It’s time.
Teams are now collecting start dates for employees. It’s happening. Good luck!
Work Flow Tool
Why are they making us go through all of this BS with WFT, metrics, flagging us on reports for numbers that aren’t acceptable in their zombie minds if they’re just going to pawn us off on the vendors?
Department
What department do most people belong to when they are posting these comments? I’m curious
