There is too much work, too much stress, work/ life balance does not exist, pay is humiliating for the amount of work to be done, the customers are angry and dissatisfied, etc., you get the point. What I am interested to know is how do you deal... — read more
Hey directors, department heads...
Do you really think that all of the current directors and department heads will be needed as the operations transition to India?? You don’t think that the plan is to have folks based in India leading those working in India..... I would bet that... — read more
It felt so good
not only to move all of my insurance business from allsnake but to move it TO GEICO..... Everyone that I recommended Allstate to as a so called “Allstate ambassador” over the last 10 years I also convinced to leave..... They only needed to hear... — read more
"Volun-told" to help with India property claims training and onboarding
Had a call with my leader a little while ago telling me that I have been tasked to assist in some way with India's training and on boarding for property claims work. Not sure what is needed from me or what I am going to be asked to contribute but I... — read more
RMBC - leader didn’t convey occurrence notice
I am in RMBC and was never told of occurrence updates or adjustments.. is this applicable to only claims? Or everyone? Can someone else confirm in RMBC?
Why are the Allstate commercials so goofy in a creepy, weird way?
In an attempt to be clever as GEICO and Progressive in their advertising, they are a miserable failure. Creepy announcers, and goofy ads, not in a fun way will not bring business through the door. Tommy and Glenny appear to have a hand in the... — read more
Is this WARN thing new?
Because I know myself two sets of Allstate layoffs in 2014 and 2016 where zero notice was given. The teams were literally walked to the cafeteria and informed they were being laid off, walked in groups by management and building security back to... — read more
Manager just revealed we will be hybrid
No date given but our manager just let us know that we will be hybrid. 3 days in office/2 days home one week and 2 days office/3 days home the next and this alternates. Said this will be revisited at end of October to see if any changes. Our team is... — read more

Leadership is being pushed to move people to UN NOW!!
Allsnake has around 60 days to get people GONE WITHOUT SEVERANCE before the upcoming WARN announcements of sweeping layoffs significantly larger than the ones last year... Leaders are being pushed to place folks on UN now if they are not meeting... — read more
A good Time to remember Wilson’s interview on protecting American workers...
6 months before beginning the destruction of his American workforce, Tom Wilson gave an interview scolding other corporations for moving jobs overseas and preaching about loyalty to American workers...: I am not naive enough to believe that... — read more
I just received a sales call from Allstate

Team Hired
If you were laid off and looking to try and work for an agent contact Team Hired, they are doing a lot of hiring for the Allstate agents, they may be the only option shortly for agents who need to hire staff.
Mods!?
Please stop deleting posts whenever you feel like it. And if you do, at least have the backbone to explain why you are deleting them.
Union please!
How can we let them continue to screw us over?! Power in numbers. Unionize!
Occurrences
Have you been told they are retroactively changing all 202 partial occurrences to full occurrences? I went from 4 to 9 overnight. Ya, I may have used their system to my advantage but this is crazy. Another stick to hold over our heads. I expect a UN... — read more
Which departments are going back?
To the people that have spilled insider comments on other threads for certain centers... which departments are full time work from home and which are hybrid?
Call center new skillset
So I have to say, after speaking to customers daily I can now add “apologizer-in-charge” to my long list of talents. Never let it be said that Allstate doesn't help us learn new things and expand our skills. I'm sure this'll come very handy in my... — read more
“Come see the softer side of Allstate.”
Since they are so eager to become irrelevant like Sears, they should use some of Sears old marketing lines.... “Allstate....solid as Sears” LOL
Go Go Go Geico
Tommy, you will never ever beat Geico... You chose to tear up your current business model destroying nearly all service drivers in the claims department to try to become Geico.... You will never beat Geico in price as their price structure can... — read more
Squeeze those tenured customers allsnake

Competitive Price...when!
Okay, Allstate leadership laid off all these thousands and thousands of employees to be competitive with the Big Dogs of insurance (Geico, Progress, etc.) but we are still waiting to see this wonderful prices.
Withholding information
Why does management withhold information from us as if we will not find out? Such as going back to office? That is one thing I hate about this company. They withhold important information from the employee.
Remember this ad
”and if you have cut-rate insurance you could be on the hook for thousands so get Allstate and become better protected.” Allstate’s goal is to now be that cut-rate insurance carrier..... Allstate is now everything they used to advertise they... — read more
Back to the Office?!
Anyone got the scoop on who’s going back? Supposed to hear by end of month, but someone might have some intel. Just curious!
New hires
When I first came here, this was a completely different company. Anyway, I struggled a lot trying to fit in because I didn’t have much previous experience. I can't even imagine how it is for those who are just now coming here. I would not like to... — read more
What the 2021 first quarter numbers and retention is going to mean for us
The abysmal 1st quarter retention numbers and falsely inflated profit numbers exposed by last year's market share purchased will result in a faster push of all the claims to India and thousands of more American Allstaters enjoying bullsh–... — read more
Glenn sells!
Glenn dumps $2,000,000 of ALL shares on March 1. Retention numbers coming soon! Thoughts?
Automation and India
It is a bummer that we will all be replaced by AI or India here soon. Eventually I think they’ll maybe even handle chats.
My biggest mistake
I wish I knew about this site eight months ago, I wouldn't have made one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I quit a decent job to switch to Allstate because the pay was better and it seemed like a fun and engaging job. It actually was, I enjoyed... — read more
ASIC
Is it just me or does it seem like Allstate is hitting the ASIC department. All band 3s and 4s had no choice but to go to the RMBC and going forward ASIC will just be a band 2 position while RMBC is band 3,4, and 5
All Property Claims Town Hall
We got an email yesterday in property claims regarding a town hall meeting for all property coming up. What do you think this is all about?
Union?
Any hope of organizing before we're all out on our asses?
Claim adjuster salary
So I was thinking of applying as a claim adjuster and see Allstate's starting salary is $38,800! Progressive starts at $47,000. Does anyone know what other insurance companies start as? Allstates starting salary seems low
Rehired back
They reinstated our eliminated position after it was deemed redundant. After 3 months of not really seeing anything I would rather do I went back. The position is two bands lower but salary is only about $2500 less than when I was laid off. Going to... — read more
Those who have returned, are you in an even worse position now?
Did anyone leave and go back to Allstate because it turned out that their new company wasn't much better after all? I recently left thinking there aren’t a lot of places where it’s worse than here, but I was wrong. I’d love to come back, at least... — read more
Watch the retention number
If the stock price deteriorates, Allstate will definitively be in play....I truly feel that is the ultimate end game for this leadership team.... The only thing saving it right now as an independent company is the current market cap ....making any... — read more
Allstate will not exist in 3 years

American jobs to India? Good luck with that .
Very often customers call back after getting a call from Allstate India because they wanted to verify that it was really Allstate contacting them and not some scammers . And yes it may be a little prejudice to assume that an Indian accent equals a... — read more
