I wonder if the insureds whose vehicles have been sitting in shops for two months or the thousands of high performing tenured Allstate employees who were thrown out on there as--s for no reason in 2020 during a global pandemic are excited about this... — read more
Tom Wilson
Look at all the good things Tom has done for Chicago. Lots of charity work, and even helps give money to underprivileged kids. Some of that $21 million a year is going to some great causes
The numbers are not what they seem
They cook the numbers every chance they get. Their quarterly numbers are just made up BS and highly manipulated. They lie to the shareholders, investors, agents, employees, media, policy holders, and the general public. This company is in a lot... — read more
The hiring process
Do they even care who they hire anymore? Is it one big free-for-all these days?
If you are just starting out
Continually look to build your skillset and if you are young don’t anticipate working for a company your entire career because those days are long gone and may lead to some bitter filled posts we tend to see here. I was very lucky to have worked for... — read more
Is there anything they take seriously?
They ignore that Transformative Growth is a bad strategy and that employees are dissatisfied, they ignore their problems and the fact that Allstate is less and less competitive and that people leave as soon as they get another option that is even... — read more
Do not be fooled by diversity initiatives
Removing degree requirements is an excuse to hire people with degrees and not pay them what they're worth.
Tom Foolery in these Unprecedented Times
My heart goes out to all the employees who were, and will be, laid off so Allstate could hire Alicia Keys. Clearly, the company believes this Grammy award winning musician, tv personality, business owner, author and philanthropist is in desperate... — read more
Alicia Keys?
Our jobs are going to India and they hire Alicia Keys for commercials? You suck Allstate.
Predictions for the All Hands on 7/21?
Tom is hosting an "all hands", what are your predictions?
Allstate Surveys
How do you feel about all surveys we have to populate.
What would you do if you had power to change Allstate?
What'd be your moves?
Multiple directors at Arity moving on to new roles
Director of product and director of engineering abandoning ship within a day of each other.. After how they handled the reorg last year and the terrible culture they've cultivated here, they should have been fired. They have left every team under... — read more
Outside party investigating Big Blue
Apparently there are some whistle blowers who brought to the attention the delayed claims handling, work conditions, and some regulatory concerns from 2018 on. Also investigating into the impact and methods of the 2020 layoffs when Big Blue took... — read more
How nice it is
I started progressive and they haven’t outsourced their tech support at all. What a breath of fresh air!
Did anyone get calls after they left here?
I don’t know how much to believe those stories or not, but I’ve heard that Allstate continues to harass some employees even after they leave the company. It’s hard for me to believe that, but nothing would be too weird here. Has anyone had such an... — read more
They never tried to keep anyone?
I know it’s the domain of science fiction, but is it also amazing to me that they never try to keep anyone, even best of the best employees, after giving notice?
Why am I still working hard?
I know that hard work at Allstate doesn’t pay off at all, but I work here for myself and my future, not for the future of Allstate. Besides, I don't know how to do my job any other way. It is necessary to work as hard as possible for another reason... — read more
Have you or do you know anyone who has been put on a UN?
I have been put on a UN do to my survey numbers being low. My Un states I have 60 days to raise it to 80% which is goal or face possible termination. Do you know if you or others have beaten a UN for surveys? I heard the managers are doing this... — read more
Most non-chat roles in Hudson moving from home based to hybrid in 2022
Leader told us today to prepare that after the holidays sometime between January and March most roles in all areas that are not chat roles will be going hybrid with 2 or 3 days in the office in Hudson. Not sure about other areas of the country.
A lot of claims leaders out of pocket this morning
Supposedly some big meetings. Something is going on.
Heads up sco!
Two attorneys were laid off on Friday out of the blue and it’s going to continue. Don’t care who calls BS. TWO of the 3 lead attorneys are also being laid off just don’t know which two yet.
Funny business in the numbers
This info is from Salary.com. There may be errors, but does anything stand out to you on this info? Mr. Wilson seems to have lowered the gap in the pay ratio. Yeah, by doubling the average employee salary? What area might that be in? Year CEO Pay ... — read more
Retirement Question
I know this is a lay-off board but some of you may have some perspective. How much notice do people customarily give around here? I’ve seen some information suggesting 3 months but I worry because I don’t trust this company.
Harsh reality
Outside of claims, allstate isn't a bad job. Society lies to all of us from a young age to go to college and get a bachelor's degree and there will be tons of fun and great jobs. The truth is the higher the pay the more stressful and heavier the... — read more
If everybody who wants out was to leave next week
how many employees would there be left at Allstate?
A different perspective
It’s important to consider where most of the responses are coming from. For the majority of us who have been employed at Allstate for years, we joined the company back then and the rules were quite different. You basically had a job for life unless... — read more
How did Resignation work?
To those who have quit recently or will quit? Did you offer 2 weeks? If so, did they let you go that day and if they did, did they still pay you your 2 weeks like most companies do or just you’re gone and no pay?
Use it while you can
As it stands now, Allstate still looks good on your resume. However, the way the company has been doing and all the hits we've been taking to our reputation, I'm not positive that'll always be the case. This means that now is the best time to start... — read more
Big yikes
This board is so busy compared to other insurance companies.. just a thought 🙃
Law & Reg
What is going on with this group? Departures left and right, voluntary and through RIFs, invisible GC, unqualified officers. Anyone else feel this way?
I got a job offer
And I can't decide if I want to accept it for one main reason. It's been 20 years since I've been "the new guy" anywhere. I admit I got too comfortable here, and now the thought of moving to something unfamiliar scares me more than staying here does... — read more
The new WOKE training
Who else was involuntarily signed up for this? Now on top of trying to meet my metrics every day I’m going to be told how I’m “privledged” due to the color of my skin, by my employer (despite the fact I grew up in poverty)
Esurance layoffs
Heard in a meeting today that the Esurance side will be undergoing “transformative growth”. Good luck to you all :(
Do I return
I came in as a claim trainee to LDU and was laid off after 6 years. Just on a whim, I applied for a job as a customer care representative in Express Claims. I don’t know anything about Express Claims or Customer Care. I think this role sets up... — read more
Skills that people develop here?
Are pretending to work and taking someone else’s credit the greatest skills people have been getting lately at Allstate? This company is essentially corrupting people. I know a lot of young people who came here and during the time they were here... — read more

Ex-employe here who just found out about all of .....this ...and the site. I quit awhile back because of nepotism, favoritism, broken mgmt and NO WLB. Life is truly greener on the other side. Im not trying to sound condescending with this. I took a... — read more
