Is it just me or is Tom face excessively red. Why is this company ran by a bunch or washed up dinosaurs??? This company needs some new younger top executives & a new CEO that is in touch with today market. Looks like we will continue to fall down in... — read more
Boring, repetitive work
Am I the only one who is bored senseless with his work right now? I know it's the same work I've been doing for the past eight years, but at least before we had incentives in better pay and better benefits. We also had realistic and achievable goals... — read more
A suggested process for implementing new metrics
Before new increased goals and metrics are applied and forced on the employees. All front line leaders and Division Managers should first have to meet the new metrics for at least 3 consecutive days before they are implemented. These people are over... — read more
Major Release April Assessment
Anyone get an email notification about Major Release April Assessment? Very vague not details just meeting scheduled.
Geico is hiring
For all those who hate Allstate: Geico is hiring right now in several markets. Other insurers are hiring as well but my understanding is that Geico is the coveted employer. So go ahead and leave. Join the better competitor. Leave those of us who... — read more
It would be interesting to see them in our place
Welcome to the company of unrealistic goals. There is no creative strategy that helps you reach them. Supervisors set unrealistic goals in front of (almost) all employees, except themselves. I would like to know how any of the superiors who think... — read more
Fed stumulus cobra
Called HR today about free cobra for FED stimulus. Of course, they don’t know anything yet and working to see the requirements of the passed bill. Allstate never has any answers for past employees. If your still working for this as—e company... — read more
Working from Home choice and layoffs correlation
Choosing work from home over hybrid or in office return is a one way trip to putting your name on the lay off list. So we have been told in our area in a not so direct way.
Want a promotion?
Join another company. You won't get it here no matter how hard you work. All the positions are reserved for friends, family, or sycophants. If there's nobody who at that moment fits that description, they'll bring in somebody from the outside. The... — read more
Having Allstate insurance is as beneficial....

Shouldn’t you be in bed right now??
If you are an Allstate employee and are still up...go get some sleep... You are about 5 hours away to starting your week in “Shapiroland.” Get some sleep....you will need it...
That’s our stand
American workers suck! We use our loyal customers with good risk to overpay in order to subsidize low rates for those with poorer risk. We use a game to decide who should be employed by us but willing to take “bad game players” back if they are... — read more
Can someone help with our claim ? Nobody’s answering their phone abd it’s been 2 weeks and still nobody’s looked at my truck
My rental will be up soon. I leave messages and the shop has tried doing the video inspection but no callback. Can a auto appraiser please go see my truck at the shop?
Management knows nothing
I work in ASIC. To be fair, most of the managers in the department are good people. However, last month managers had to take one chat at a time and I was BLOWN AWAY at some of the basic questions managers asked that I learned as a new hire. Some... — read more
A Marketing team with ZERO diversity, sounds about right?
Does anyone else think it's odd that the Consumer Marketing department has no diversity. The only demographic who receives promotions and who is hired are white women. So much for inclusion and diversity that the company said they were looking to... — read more
I got no training whatsoever?
I think this is the only company where your manager doesn't provide any training for new employees. I started a couple of months ago and whatever question I asked my manager he directed me towards some older coworkers who were also not eager to... — read more
Is there anything Allstate is still competitive at?
Pay has been below the industry standard for a while now. Benefits have been getting slimmer and slimmer every year. Goals have become all but impossible to achieve. So what exactly is there to attract new employees with? Why would anybody join... — read more
Management is evil
Since the coronavirus management has done nothing but tell lies and they enjoy making employees uncomfortable and stressed. For example, with the layoffs and acting like they didn't know who would be laid off. Then laying off too many people and... — read more
Get Out
I really just don’t get it. If you don’t like working for Allstate...get out!! It’s–thard to apply for other jobs and make something happen. Don’t let the posters on this board fool you. They are dead weight and have probably never advanced passed... — read more
CEO approval
Let’s have a real vote that Allstate can’t manipulate. Thumbs up if you agree that Tom Wilson the CEO needs to be replaced. Thumbs down if you think Tom is doing a good job with this company......
Allstate syndrome
Allstate has its own version of Stockholm syndrome - employees who've been here long enough that they've gotten used to the mistreatment and will defend anything Allstate does with every fiber of their being. I'm not sure if I should feel sorry for... — read more
What would you do to improve the situation?
I see so much complaining here but very few suggestions on what could be done to improve things. It's very easy to criticize, but do you think you'd be able to do better? Tell me, what is it that the management can do to improve the situation? What... — read more
A team is only as good as its leader....
That would explain why we will never be #1.
Open letter on Allstate
When I hired into Allstate decades ago it was a fantastic mutual company. Over time there were changes and bumps but it was still a great place to work. I was proud to work for Allstate. But over many years things have slowly deteriorated and with... — read more
How long did it take you to recover from Allstate?
I moved to a new company and apparently also transferred all my frustrations from Allstate. I am very anxious and I think they will call me at any moment to give me criticism, more work and layoff. I am wary of backstabbing and too distrustful of... — read more
Under what conditions would you accept an offer to back to a job?
I haven’t heard of many cases of Allstate offering people their jobs back, but I’ve seen here that it happened in one unit. I don’t know how desperate someone would have to be to accept that offer or under what conditions they would accept it, but... — read more
I have to celebrate leaving
Finally! I waited a long time and sent out a huge number of applications and in the end it paid off. I’m not sure if I’m more happy because of getting a new opportunity or because I am leaving this ridiculous company. I definitely have to celebrate... — read more
Done
So, as a former Allstate employee, I have been monitoring this site for several months. I'm done. The site has become toxic, desperate and combative. If you value your mental health stay off of this site and run your life the way you deem... — read more
Esurance brand
A year and a half ago they announced the sunset of the brand and stopped advertising. However the company is actually grown in size since and they are posting jobs. They did suck the soul out of his employees with the allstate... — read more
Everywhere is the same
People think things are better at other insurance companies, but they're not. This whole industry is in shambles and everybody is looking how to cut costs any way they can. Usually, that means employees. If you want to improve your situation, you'll... — read more
National General acquisition
Any updates from Allstate end on acquisition?? We get a few emails here and there and about all hands meetings but not much is said.
COBRA is free from the Fed starting April 1
Part of the latest stimulus bill states that the Fed will subsidize COBRA health insurance payments for laid off employees for 6 months starting April 1. Also, if you did not take COBRA when you were laid off, you are eligible for it now free. ... — read more
The only thing Allstate does well is fall behind
With layers upon layers of middle managers, draconian IT security policy (such as the whole PEAP process), and use of outdated tooling really shows how castrated the company is when it comes to being able to get work done quickly and efficiently, and... — read more
Excited to return to the office

Major Amazon hub in Alabama rejects union.
Voted down by a large margin. Almost 3 to 1 against. All you union pumpers need to realize not nearly as many people would support a union at Allstate as you would like to think.
Equipment return
I’ve been gone for over two months and they have never contacted me about laptop and monitor return. Is that normal? Who do I even contact about that?
Piling up layers of middle management
I swear that’s all this company is doing. Not to mention that most of these positions are pretty much useless and the company could function fine even if they didn't exist. Whenever layoffs come all the people that I see getting cut are regular... — read more
The dr-g addiction, alcoholism, and mental illness Allstate causes
Since middle of last year I know more than a few co-workers and friends from other areas of the company that have been pushed to the limit by the evils of Allstate. The unwarranted layoffs and associated stresses related to as well as the short... — read more
