Juneteenth fell on Saturday & Claims got Friday off. Independence Day falls on a Sunday & claims doesn’t get Monday - although some departments do. I don’t get it.
Storm is brewing!
The losses are coming! Allstate and independent agents are writing a great deal of Non-Standard business through the Nat Gen channel. Allstate could never play in the nonstandard arena. Tom Wilson panicked in 2015 when his Auto loss ratio creeped up... — read more
Only now do I see how bad the situation here was
While I was at Allstate, I was aware that the company had a lot of problems and I thought the employees were not valued enough. Now that I’m in a new company, I can compare some things, I see that Allstate is a lot worse than I thought while I... — read more
For whom are jobs falling from the sky?
Or, why do some say that Allstate is just taking advantage of the situation and the job market being so bad, while others say that the situation is not nearly as bad and that they have received multiple offers so far? Who are these people from... — read more
Claims Town Hall --Thoughts?
Eric did acknowledge some of challenges Claims is facing....kind of. Meanwhile employees pulled off the phone for an hour of nonsense. Bring out the good talk- really? Let's open our wallets so the company gets credit for giving back. No comments in... — read more
Ashamed, Not Our Allstate
Allstaters used to be proud, bleed blue, re pmmend friends and family.Successes were celebrated, teams were cohesive. Service was superior, customers actually were first, and employees were treated decently. I noticed the shift when GS Glenn Shapiro... — read more
Conflicted
I am thinking of going back to what I majored in which is a different field but it literally pays half of what I make at allstate. I'm torn if I should leave or not. Allstate just doesn't excite me. My old field was so fun and exciting but the pay... — read more
I am genuinely curious why people still want to work here?
Is the a reason people are not leaving for a better job?
Agency compensation being cut again 2023?
Does anyone know how much the EA agency compensation is being cut by in 2023? There was a recent article about it but you have to be a subscriber in Crains. After cutting all those jobs, what more can they do? They cut the renewals to 9% in... — read more
Let's start a union...
so that the union can make lots of money and we foot the bill.
So many ungrateful people here
I was laid off six months ago. I still can't find a new job. Do you have any idea what I'd give to trade places with any of you? If things are so bad for you, then go ahead and quit! If more people had the courage of their convictions and did... — read more
Young folks leave as soon as they find anything else.
It’s the same story in the last two years or so. Younger folks start working here and then as soon as they find any other job in insurance they leave and then the company hires some more young people and they leave too. Maybe I’m just an old-timer... — read more

The grass IS greener
I started a new job three weeks ago and I’m kicking myself that I didn’t do so sooner. It is like a night and day experience. If you’re on the fence, do not hesitate to make a move. You will not regret it. Allstate is toxic. At least the legal... — read more
Union!!!
Just kidding, I'm not stupid. If you think allstate is screwing you over, there's tons of jobs out there that post better and require less effort... let allstate deal with the staging shortage since less people is what they're going for anyway. — read more
Thank you Allstate!!!
I want to thank this mismanaged Allstate corporation. Without you I wouldn’t have half the staff I currently have and I would’ve had to spend thousands training new employees. Because of you I have qualified people that are able to come in and run my... — read more
Expected Announcements
So what announcements can we expect in the first two weeks of July? Will they be made at each department level, or will it be one major announcement at the company level?
How are Brandt or Shapiro As-----s?
Name even one honest example?
Nothing but the truth
Some people just don’t want to hear it. But let’s be honest here. AS is a horrible insurance company and the ONLY reason people remain is either they won’t find anything better OR they are waiting to get paid to leave. THAT IS A FACT. There is... — read more
When does Northbrook HQ return to Office
Does anyone have a date? Are they really closing down permanently? Asking for a friend.
NGIC/Encompass
Next week starts the pure disaster for NG and Encompass. All Encompass claims start on the Cr-p of a system called EPIC. Production will go way down. Customer service will suck. It still makes no sense why they bought this company. NG adjusters... — read more
Leadership Assessment Results
Honestly, it is pure comedy.
Retention
If Allstate wants to retain Esurance employees they’re going to have to change things like better health benefits (no more high deductible plans) and benefits to compete with other large organizations. Allstate will need to pay us fairly and give us... — read more
Performance reviews
How much do these have to do with who has been laid off and who will be laid off? If they are pertinent, does that mean you are expected to be “better than expected“ every year?
Exhausted by Friday
With the amount of work we have to do due to unrealistic goals, I am so tired by Friday that I keep making mistakes throughout the entire day. I just can't concentrate and I keep falling behind. How do you folks deal with this? I'm worried that if I... — read more
Layoff adjusters over 60
Allstate needs to layoff adjusters over 60. VTO needs to be offered. Allstate could hire two adjusters for the same salary and get double the work done.
If you followed Dave Ramsey's advise, these layoffs would be no big deal, and you would laugh it off...
Just sayin.
When does Hudson return to office
I thought it was July 6th but haven't heard anything lately
Bye bye Lead Counsel
Your roles are "redundant" and you are being replaced. Have fun with your assessment! Now you know how it feels to be treated like cr-p.
First Party Casualty Just lost its Claim Field Director
Notice went out the Pam Overton newly appointed First Party Casualty Claim Field Director is retiring. There was no indication that she was leaving prior. She seemed excited to learn her new role and oversee FPC teams. This is unsettling.
Anyone know anything about what areas are expected....
I've seen posts about upcoming layoffs in July, Aug, Oct....I don't know if all of those are accurate, but just wondering if anyone has more info. Has anyone heard what areas are expected to be impacted, when, and will it be an assessment or just... — read more
UNION
I was raised to think unions bad, protect the lazy, with modern labor laws they aren't needed. How times have changed. I will consider paying dues, just for chance to get a labor organizer into Allstate. The abuses are ridiculous and beyond... — read more
How do I increase my likelihood to be selected for layoff?
If another round is coming in August like some of you are claiming, what can I do to increase my chance of being selected for the layoff? Start slacking? Decrease performance to barely above a UN? Tell my manager that I volunteer as tribute?
How badly you want to get out of here?
I’ve been trying in every way lately. I would like to give notice at this very moment. I’ve sent a lot of apps and hope to get an offer soon because I can’t wait for the layoffs. I'll probably agree to a worse job than I have here, but the only thing... — read more
Hybrid, Full Remote, or back in office ??
Those of you who have been interviewing with other companies, gotten offers, or have even just talked to recruiters, what are most companies requiring as far as office verses remote work??
LEGAL: Harold webinar today
What the he-l just happened? What did they even say? Assessments for all of legal or just manager level? That was so vague and so terrible. Did they say non-attorneys are getting new managers? Did they say there will be layoffs in support staff? It... — read more
