Allstate is sinking deeper and deeper every day, and I am trying to leave as soon as possible because my career and my health are sinking along with it. Before I never thought that Allstate would become the company it is now. I wonder if the... — read more
Many incompetent agents?
You would be SHOCKED how many agents are incompetent. Its one thing if they don’t know but many won’t listen. For example if the insured fills out the mileage form incorrectly. I’ll say hey they just need to send in a mileage worksheet with two... — read more
How enthusiastic are the "new talents"?
I met one, and, while it wouldn't be fair to judge others based on him alone, I sincerely hope they are different because this young man has no enthusiasm for work at all. So this company laid off my colleague who was a top expert, to later hire... — read more
Two months would be enough for me
Two months' pay (even six weeks) would be enough as severance to get me to walk away right now. And I'd walk away happy. It would be just enough to give me time to rest for a few weeks and then find a new job. I'm so overworked right now that I don't... — read more
Exit from the life and annuity businesses

Transparency

I wonder why attrition is not higher
With so many unhappy people working here, you'd think attrition would be higher than it has been for the past several years. Evenso, I'm not seeing any changes or upticks. This is truly a pity, because I'd love for a mass exodus event to happen and... — read more

You really shouldn't worry

When is Tom's next scheduled slur fest of lies and falsehoods?
I don't want to miss it! Last year most of us had our heads in the sand and believed the spring lies. This time we are onto you lying snakes. So Tommy Boy down those 10am martinis, kick back, grab your mic, and let the sh– show begin!
Unrealistic expectations

Hidden gem
I can't believe I make $20 an hour working from home and taking chats
Forced retirement
After almost 25 years I lost my job in August, in the middle of a quarantine. There are no jobs to be found that pay over $15.00 an hour and they are far and few. I am in my late 50’s and expected to end my working career with Allstate. I am not... — read more
Working from home taking a toll on us

Short Rated Items
ALL the new auto business the CCC/CIC & Web write is short rated and pleasure. They assign to agencies then leave them the mess to clean up. I guess rules only apply to some but not all.
