The joy of this job is gone. They’ve sucked it out. Every last bit of energy the adjusters had is spent. The constant claim volume, the thankless overtime. Does anyone know what the end result is of transformative growth besides a bunch of... — read more
"Not following the chain of command"
I have a manager with whom it is almost impossible to establish any kind of connection or communication. Despite all my efforts, communication with him is very poor. He doesn't really have time to communicate at all because he always has "something... — read more
Business lunch to help solve disconnect
If Glenn or Brandt did a business lunch with claims front line workers, and could answer some honest questions workers have, this could help solve some of the disconnect. It could be mutually beneficial to both front line workers, and executive... — read more
Unionize now!
Remembering back about 15 years ago when all managers had to attend a seminar at the regional office regarding how to stop employees from unionizing. Should have seen the writing on the wall back then.
Market share plummets
Don’t be fooled by the Transform plan to take back market share. Several thousand employees were let go, regions combined, work from plans, selling off the Home office in order to reduce expenses in the multi millions. Then run tv ads with new lower... — read more
policyholders labor organizers journalists
if you have a policy: drop it: claims service is terrible, overworkered stressed and some work is being done in India. journalists: wake up and do your job instead of parroting public relations statements. labor: we are ripe for organizing, maybe... — read more
Allstate is done
Eric Brandt: 5,000 adjusters quit in 10 months time (since the farsical Reduction in Force that was based on salary and the company used a third party personality test to justify). Thats a class action lawsuit waiting for the right attorney. The TG... — read more
Transformative Growth
To this day I still think that was a sick term that Allstate used to justify massive layoffs last year to spin it like it benefited employees. Ever since they have executed that plan things have went downhill.
Most are biding their time
Majority of my peers are all in the same boat. We’re patiently waiting to find that one job that will be the right fit. It’s such a shame because most of my coworkers are fantastic. But no one can deny the fact that we are all stressed the he-l out... — read more
What is all this talk about Progressive?
Ugh oh God no! I wouldn’t watch to merge with Progressive. Insurance companies are all the same! Same cr-p just dressed up differently and personally the devil I know is better than the devil I don’t know. Besides between me and you there are a few... — read more
Do the bare minimum
The below is sound advice from a poster in another thread. This company deserves nothing more and much less stress on ourselves. I'd imagine many of us do this same thing: I am fortunate enough to be in a role that is actually well paid for what we... — read more
It was a good run
I have been at allstate a few years and pre pandemic I personally liked the job. Since the pandemic and full time work from home I just don't like it. The way layoffs were handled last year I didn't respect. Plus I see the direction Allstate is going... — read more
claims salaries
Eric Brandt really made of fool of himself with the explanation he gave on salaries. How sad to be an EVP and not have a better answer for paying below the market value. This guy is in way over his head. To make that statement to adjusters who are... — read more
My superior just doesn't see it
Hard work doesn’t pay off here, however, the situation is even worse when your supervisor doesn’t see how hard you actually work. It is necessary to deal with all backstabbers who are very happy to take credit for other people's work. I would love to... — read more
Re-Enrollment for benefits starts today
As a retiree, I was told that I would be notified when re-enrollment would begin. As of today, the first day of re-enrollment, myself and many others I know have not been notified. Thought this might be helpful for those that may have not be... — read more
Get rid of this leadership!
For fu-k's sake, give this company a chance.
What to do other than leave?
It’s easy when your bosses are competent, but when your bosses don’t really understand your job, then it’s not easy. For two years, I was at odds between what incompetent superiors wanted and what really needed to be done on the job. What to do... — read more

How to fix this mess?
I don't believe I will work here long enough to see the new leadership, better leadership that may be able to fix this mess. Still, I wonder how the leadership that really cared about this company and its employees would do that? The question is... — read more

Nat Gen
As a current employee of Nat Gen- it is truly criminal the way they handle claims. They practice low balling on claims. Even after you write an estimate- they tell you to offer less then the actual cost. I wish we all knew what Allstate saw in... — read more
Who would want to see Progressive buy Allstate?
And why? As for me personally, I would not like to see that happen.
Things of value?
If I had to list things that are of real value in this company, I would have to agree with another poster and say that it was just a home product. Unfortunately.
Has Glenn lost his energy?

How come almost everyone becomes much more successful when they leave here?

Allstate SIU a department in decline

Seriously, do you think anyone really cares about you anymore
Whenever they are saying it is good for the employees or the customer, the translation is it is good for the stockholder. Which means it is good for Wilson, Shapiro, Rizzo, Gupta, Williams, Parsons, Brandt, etc. They could care less about any of you... — read more

I was considering a role change. You can’t even understand what the job actually is.
