I work from home everyday and chat so I don't have to speak with customers directly. I listen to music, watch tv, sometimes drink, smoke, talk on the phone. No physical labor at all. Just in my office. I know it's to each it's own
Culture starts at the top
Nothing will change in the culture of this company until those at the top change. Agree? Culture starts at the top. This is the only explanation why a manipulator, slacker and backstabber always do better here than a hard worker who does his job... — read more
Stop being doormats
I hear so many people complaining about their bosses as if there's nothing they can do to change their situation. Guess what, you can. You just have to accept the fact that working here means having to do your role and being a politician at the same... — read more
Exit Survey Link Broken
I put in my two weeks notice, and the exit survey link was broken. This sums up Allstate perfectly.
Put in notice
Put in my notice. I feel like a weight has been lifted. Got a new job which was such a blessing an came right on time as I was contemplating quitting this one. Gave this company almost 10 years of my life in claims. I was an excellent worker then... — read more
Get out while you are still young
Let me make a suggestion ….if you’re young enough, join the marines or the navy. If you’re smart enough become a nurse or a dentist. If you’re talented enough, start your own business. DO NOT I repeat DO NOT work for an insurance company, especially... — read more
How is this considered normal?
It dawned on me that having the constant fear of losing my job is not normal. When I see employees who excel in their job performance get RIF’d I ask myself what chance do I have of surviving any future rounds? It’s not something I want to... — read more
The most poorly managed company you have worked for?
Is that Allstate? In my case, it is. Never before could I have thought that a company could function with such bad management, until I came here. I hope to leave as soon as possible. I wouldn't even call this management, this is more like an... — read more
Please don’t hate
We all know how horrible this company is and how we are being told to “get out”, “leave”, “quit”. That’s all fine and dandy if you’re at an age where it’s easy to find a replacement BUT not quite as easy if you’re in your late 40s to mid 50s. There... — read more
Sco is a joke
So many surveys and assessments for management levels while they just finished vto and lead counsels now awaiting their demise all while hiring new attorneys who passed the bar last night. Comedy.
We could be looking at a potential takeover
It is obvious that Allstate is cutting costs. Mr. Haysbert's contract was around $4 million per year. Makes no sense to sign him for another year if the company is for sale. Everyone needs to read between the lines: *At age 63 Tom Wilson is... — read more
Glenn's Animal Shelters
Wonder how Glenn's animal shelters/charity are holding up through all this chaos!?
Claims Walkout
Hows about we get them to take our complaints seriously? From Front line to home office
Who else is hiring?
I currently make around $50,000 with allstate. I'm open to leaving but does anyone know good jobs that pay $50,000 or more? I don't want to take a job making less
What an eye opener
I’ve been working for a little over 3 years and what an eye opener it’s been. I started off thinking I would focus on career development but I’ve quickly learned that there is none here. If I had known in advance how each department is its own little... — read more
Allstate Man
It’s now official Allstate gave the boot to the best spokesperson of a lifetime. Dennis Haybert is now a casualty on the layoff. He will be replaced with an outsourced person from India.
Allstate is a disappointment
I just found out my position has been outsourced to India and will lose my job. I naively thought I had job security and worked for a great company. Nope. The assessment test is bu-----t and they won’t give you your results. Fu-k you Allstate. — read more
Allstate Claims Express is a Disaster
What a complete disaster. ALLSTATE has been outsourcing work to India and claims is in such a ho-e it's a mess. If only our customers knew about the unqualified entry-level people we have handling their claims and personal information. Express is... — read more
ENOUGH SURVEYS!
I hope someone high up the ladder reads this site. Take a course, get a survey. Use IT get a survey. Use HR get a survey. Use “good life” to find info, get a survey. Inspire surveys, pulse surveys. ENOUGH Why not take a survey about taking surveys?... — read more
Where in Allstate is it not a nightmare?
And some of us actually like our jobs. Not every area of Allstate is a nightmare. I would not agree with someone who wrote this. I love my job too, but I started to despise it in this company. I wouldn’t say there are such “areas” that aren’t a... — read more
No Wonder Allstate Is In A Hurry To Move Jobs To India...
Saw the job application below which was posted 6 days ago for a position in India and already has nearly 400 applicants. Using the current Rupee to U.S. $ exchange rate, the math works out to $2,019.55 - $6,732.06 vs a $40k+ salary here in the US. ... — read more
I have trouble believing some of you
I see so many posts of people leaving Allstate and finding better paying jobs with great benefits and amazing culture... Really? In this economy, there are hundreds of these amazing jobs available for the taking? Just waiting for disgruntled Allstate... — read more
Can’t Allstate just get rid of the claims department?
With transformative growth and claims and processor jobs being outsourced to call centers in India (yes, writing estimates without licenses in India for $5 hour) can’t they just sh-t down claims operations here since it’s just a skeleton crew... — read more
What are your reasons for leaving?
Part of the reason I left is because I got sick of having a stagnant career coupled with the ridiculous expectations by poor management and the executives. Of course I had to reassess my goals and prioritize what was most important to me and how to... — read more
Why does it bother you so much?
I can understand hating Allstate. I really can. But what I can't understand is why in the world does it bother some of you so much that some of us do not share that feeling. Allstate is far from perfect, but most of my years here have been good. Yes... — read more
It’s ingrained
I know several hardworking colleagues who STILL put a lot of effort into their work. They take pride in it and there’s nothing wrong with that. We each have our own reasons for putting very little or an abundance of effort no matter the outcome... — read more
Looking for input...
For those who have gone out on STD due to stress and it impacting your health, how long did you stay on leave, did it make a difference when you went back, and what did you do while gone that you found that helped? I am giving great consideration to... — read more
LOVE THE NEW COMMERCIAL!
Shows a car spiraling down just like the toilet that Allstate has become.
Some people want out at any cost
A former coworker now works as a manager at a warehouse. He was so tired of Allstate that he was willing to accept a job that came with a drastic pay cut just to get out. I don't like this place either, but I don't think such drastic change is the... — read more
I did it
I got out. I gave my notice. The only thing I am going to miss are the incredible coworkers/friends I’ve made, and the ones that I know also aren’t happy… well, I hope they can get out also. I used to love my job here, but not anymore. It was... — read more
Pension
If you leave Allstate, cash out your pension as you leave as you cannot trust these crooks…Your pension is only a “promise” to pay….don’t trust that Allstate May break this promise to save some bucks somewhere down the road…… I would not put it past... — read more
Free cobra think again?
Just got off phone with Allsnake about Cobra subsidy for free Cobra. Allsnake now says they got more information and now I owe them money back? All snake is what they are. This company is BS. Run if your still working there in Hudson Ohio
Tom Wilson?
From what I have heard he was regarded as an excellent Sears executive, and a GREAT Allstate CFO, but now a mediocre CEO. What changed?
Legal Theft
Allstate is legally stealing from agents. Develop your exit strategy now. Time to call your congressional leaders.
Lead counsel/SCO
How many reductions in lead counsel positions will there be? There are 3 lead counsel at my office currently. If they will only be managing attorneys and not staff going forward, we probably only need 1(15 attorneys or so). Does anyone know anything... — read more
We can't even keep them for the training
You know things are bad when new hires are leaving even before the (pitiful as it is) training is completed. I think as soon as they get a taste of the famous Allstate "culture," they know they've made a huge mistake in joining. Not that I can blame... — read more
Is anyone in auto able to keep up?
Expectations at an all time high in auto but I see teammates consistently having below average to poor #s each day. Is anyone able to keep up with the demand or is everyone just drowning in work? Can’t read emails because I have to be on the phone... — read more
Putting in my 2 week notice tomorrow
It’s bittersweet. I am torn between completely telling management everything I want to say or just say f it and leave because there’s no point.
Allstate Vs. Allstate
How is it that all Allstate competitors are ex-Allstate? Everyone who was worth anything went to the competition. Literally, this company is beating itself up. This can only happen to management like this that we have, to surrender the best people to... — read more
They will never realize how bad agile is?
Another name for agile here is failure, just my two cents. I certainly hope to get out of here sooner than they realize the shortcomings of agile.
