Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is... — read more
The demand for perfection
I don't get how Allstate can have demands for perfection from its employees. Pure arrogance! They have lost touch with reality. Obviously they have no idea what kind of conditions we work in and don't care how we achieve this. I am sick of their... — read more

Leaving Big Blue before I quit
Not only have I been an employee for nearly 2 decades, but a loyal customer too. While I am looking for a new job, I have also looked for a new insurance carrier. I shopped around and was shocked to find how much I could save by changing. Now I am... — read more
Why is Allstate investing 9M in marketing this year and not in staff to service clients so they will stay?
So short sighted get them in but don’t service them properly so they’ll stay. What a waste!
Raises
So I'm just curious, if anyone is a band 4 or 5. What percent of a raise do you get for expected or better than expected rating?
20% turnover is acceptable
It has been said on many calls that a 20% turnover rate is not only expected, but acceptable. Perhaps the good employees here at blue should exceed their expectations as they always do and give them more like 50-60% as a result. That would be fun to... — read more
Job ideas
Lets change it up some. I'm sure there are quite a few claims employees looking to get out. What are some industires/jobs that we should apply for when looking to get out of here?
Houston, we have a problem...
You do not need an MBA to have serious concerns about the current direction of Allstate.. In order for “transformative growth” to be successful, 3 things must happen. 1–The top line MUST grow substantially each year to offset the proposed cuts in... — read more
My money is on Warren Buffett..

Will free fall stop?
It seems to me that this company is falling apart faster and faster. When I think it can’t get any worse, it surprises me. I thought free fall would stop at some point, but no. We are still falling. I hope this free fall will stop before the company... — read more
Change at the top is necessary to fix this
We've all heard the phrase: 'You can't make this up." It seriously applies here. TW and GS have turned a deaf ear to the wants and needs of the very people who bust their a$$es every day to generate their paychecks. This is shameful on so many... — read more
Question about severance
Is Allstate severance same for everybody or does it differ by age? What I mean is, I know there is a certain number of weeks for however many years a person worked here but what if that person is over 60? Does that change anything? Are there any... — read more
Does anyone like the department they work in?
If so why or why not?
What is it like being a claims adjuster?
I am so thinking of applying to Allstate as a claims adjuster. I see the salary is $51,000. Would you recommend or not recommend and why?
New business models are competing vs. Exclusive Agency Owners
Working in sales I’m tasked with testing our new agency models aimed to increase market share, that directly compete with established EAs. These models require no capital, free referrals to the agent, lower rates and free integrated services 24/7... — read more
Stop the bleeding
15 policies cancelled alone today. People have had enough of Allstate crazy rate increases and claim service. Most are going to Progressive and Geico.
Too many wrong moves
This is what I ask myself almost every day: How do the leaders of Allstate sleep at night knowing they are destroying 80 years of blood sweat tears with every dumb move they make When I first got hired here, I thought nothing could happen that... — read more
Hahahaha, what a joke
I feel like we're being set up to fail. My workload has increased by around 50%, yet Allstate somehow expects me to keep up [when I was working close to 45 - 50 hours/week beforehand], while also keeping all of my files perfect. I'll readily... — read more
Don’t let anything stop you!

How long does recovery from Allstate take?
The layoff came to me as a relief and I thought Allstate would be a long forgotten story as soon as I find a new job. However, for several months after the layoff, I thought daily about the injustice towards the employees, I was angry, and I was... — read more
It shouldn’t be like this..:

Tom Wilson 81st most overpaid CEO
Report found here https://www.asyousow.org/report-page/the-100-most-overpaid-ceos-2021 Feel like this is a disservice to Tom and he should be higher. Maybe next year after all Glenn’s offshoring and transformation’s.
Disgusting vile commercial
The new Allstate commercial about "let's make lots of money" is nothing more than a direct slam on those recently laid off, the jobs that have and will soon move to India, and the short changing of employee wages. They may as well have had Tom and... — read more
Ane chance we'll be acquired?
That might be the only way for us to get some decent leadership. Then again - when I think about it - whoever bet on this mess might not be as smart as I hope they would be. I still wouldn't mind, though. I don't see a way for things to get much... — read more
People, this is just a job!

I’ve reached my breaking point
I’m not even going to bother with a 2 week notice. I’ve had all I could take and for the sake of my sanity and health I am finally calling it quits. Some may look down on me for it and I’ll probably be criticized royally for it. I’ve been doing 2-3x... — read more
Things will never improve
And you know why? Because anybody who tries to change things for the better, proposes we do something differently, or offers an innovative suggestion gets ignored at best, laughed at, or penalized at worst. Thinking is not welcomed here. Allstate... — read more

Losing policies
In 2020 both State Farm and Progressive set growth records. Allstate on the other hand is a sinking ship that can’t get its act together with the highest rates and poor service. Morale amongst agency force is at its lowest point.
I feel like it’s my fault
The hardest part for me is when I have to justify myself to dissatisfied customers, who often do not understand why the service is so bad and that the employees are not to blame. I absolutely understand that customer perspective because they are... — read more
