Different
Sad....this company has changed. Aside from a change in business strategy, it is not even a shell of itself. When you think of all your meaningful relationships, hard work, connections with customers, being an ALLSTATER!!, don’t feel bad. Focus on... — read more
Benefits used to be better
A lot of you seem to forget our benefits used to be better. The high deductible plan ($3,500) used to not $0.00 in 2018. And don't believe the BS with the "Choice Health Dollars" that's just a tax write off for them. Then in 2019, they increased it... — read more

Discontent breeds dissatisfaction
This has become systemic at Ailstate and will not "go away". Sadly, in ALL Departments of TC the best of the best are walking out. Sort of follows what our high value customers have been doing for the last ten years. One can only take so-o-o-o much... — read more
Done being scared
For over a year I’ve been terrified that I would be laid off. It became difficult to concentrate when there is no warning given and then coworkers get cut left and right. I knew when I survived the first round that this was NOT a company that I could... — read more

Here’s an idea. Layoff thousands and blow up your phones.
A few days after the layoffs and we already can’t properly service our customers. All types of calls are being routed to work units that have no training or access to how to handle. MOI , VA, shop supplement calls going to total loss, theft and DV... — read more
How to deal with all the complaint calls?

What was happening before you got axed?

December layoff
If my last day is in December, that means I probably won’t collect severance until 2021 based on what I’m reading on these posts of how long it’s taking the company to pay it all out. That’s good for taxes purposes? Or will they speed it up before... — read more
