For me, that was five years ago. I entered this company full of enthusiasm and my superiors assured me that everyone here could make progress based on their effort and performance. It didn’t take me long to realize that the reality was different, but... — read more 

I haven't been happy here for a while. I was offered a job recently but it comes with a 30 percent pay cut, which is not insignificant. I've been here long enough that a 30 percent less money than I make now will not hurt me too much in the long run... — read more 

Allstate is a trash company! They don't care about their employees and only care about profit. The sale of their life insurance division is unbelievable. Tom Wilson is a joke and how he ever became head of Allstate is unbelievable. F*** Allstate and... — read more 

Not. Looks like the non employees pushing people to "protest" really did a number on some of you. Zero impact, probably because the people who didn't work don't do anything anyway. Now the few who have legit gripes and bought in to it, are not... — read more

My leader let us know earlier tonight that Allstate Life is being sold and our area is getting our notice tomorrow morning. He believes 60 days. Extending our health benefits several months and we pay our portion after Allstate deductions but no... — read more 

Everyone who works in ALR - we got an email we are being sold. Call tomorrow.

Anyone else feel that Allstate leadership is running the sales organization into the ground. Good indication is # of agencies for sale and morale is definitely at all time low. Agents are forced to chat with every department and mandating company... — read more 

I'm pretty much ready to start job hunting even though I'm still at allstate because Allstate is being run into the ground. Has anyone went to progressive or worked for progressive, if so what's it like?

Curious is anyone on here is handling Uber or Lyft claims. Is it better than personal lines?

We are about 60% through Shapiro's Liberty Mutual plan that almost destroyed that company. Started with continuous improvement scam over a period of a few years, slow budget cutting towards employee incentives, recognition, and overall morale, and... — read more 

Did you notice that Allstate's switch from a place where you could have a career to a job with zero job security happened gradually? At one time you could build a successful career here, then it became mostly a regular job with a one-off promotion... — read more 

I totally forgot that the poorly planned wasted effort was Monday. My guess is the only ones stupid enough to participle were lousy performers who don’t produce much anyway. Laziness and excuses won’t get you far in the corporate world! — read more 

After my colleague and friend, a big workaholic who gave this company more than one hundred percent of himself for many years, was axed, I realized some things. He was the man I thought with least chances of anyone to get axed, and that’s exactly... — read more 

Wondering how many Allstate employees on this board have a second job or some kind of side businesses? Just curious...

Got the Xbox going and waiting on pizza and wings to be delivered. May just make this an all day thing.

I have been shocked this last year at the incompetence and greed of the top executives at allstate. They don't even try to hide it that their only loyalty is to shareholders and don't care about customers or employees. It seems they enjoy layoffs and... — read more 

Well I finally had enough and resigned after a decade settling property claims. I am so disappointed with how Allstate has decided to treat its loyal employees. The paradigm shift that occurred in December was put into place with a total lack of... — read more 

Thinking about accepting a new role with Allstate, does anyone know if I will have to pay my severance back if so how much?

10am to 3pm.....

Let me preface this by saying I'm no fan of Allstate and this is not one of those "if you hate it here so much just quit" rage-posts. I understand that people are unhappy and why they're unhappy. I'm actually planning my exit and I hope to be out... — read more 

Hopefully they offer severance with the next round. They do about 80% of the time but there have been a few instances of large layoffs, I know of two specifically where they didn’t, where no severance was offered. With my luck this would be one of... — read more

I am a territory manager with National General. These comments about layoffs are concerning but seem to be mostly affecting claims and customer service. Has there been any word on the marketing department, specifically the field reps? Will they be... — read more 

Working for National General has been wonderful! The company really cares about the employees. It's an environment that fosters growth. I'm worried about what is coming based on these comments. A company that cares about you makes you want to... — read more 

But less stress for $15 and a hefty discount. It’s almost insulting that insurance and retail would make the same, but that’s where we are now.

Yup, 100% serious, I was but a lowly claims rep 10 years ago and they still would have meetings with us going over the insurance market and their plans. They did it. Allstate isn’t going to overtake them, we WILL keep falling further and further. ... — read more 

After a lot of anxiety about what and how I will do if I get laid off, now I really don’t care. And not only that. I think that would be the best possible scenario for me in regards to finding a new job: layoff, severance and then finally some other... — read more

Just received notice that 28 offices are closing in 2021 as part of the transformation growth plan. All workers are being moved to home based workers.

If you drive for Uber in a big city, you could probably make close to what you were making at Allstate. Especially if you were also willing to do part time at a grocery store/Target, or something similar to that.

Already confirmed, there will be another round of layoffs 2nd or 3rd quarter this year to get rid of redundant positions.

For anyone looking to leave.
