What happened to having the cheapest rates

I recall that the reason for transformative growth was to have the cheapest rates in the industry. So you have laid off so many dedicated and knowledgeable employees to be replaced with new employees. Or sending work to India. The corner offices... — read more

That is unsustainable

Replacing people of great expertise with people who are very little or not at all qualified to do their job is sustainable until the company reaches the rock bottom. It's hard to expect that someone talented would want to be hired here, but... — read more

Misguided leadership

Instead of running the business for long-term success and promoting experienced employees with good people skills to management positions, this leadership only cares about short-term gains. They keep using layoffs to pad the numbers and promoting... — read more

Applause

How about instead of giving Tom a bonus, he use the applause system? If it's good enough for us, it should be good enough for that mouth breather, right? Right? What's so bad about sh-t increments of taxable monopoly money, Tom?

Allstate.com and 800

As I work for an independent agent, I constantly have people call or walk in that need service on the policies bought online or 800. They say they can’t speAk to a real person. With policy security we can’t access with a policy number. If they have a... — read more

Everyone against each other

What bothers me the most is that the employees have allowed themselves to turn against each other in this unhealthy culture. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but I often think that this is what the management actually wants to achieve. Because when we all... — read more

Priorities Skewed

No wonder this company never improves. Little time on work information of substance and a bunch of time on garbage IDE initiatives. The bathroom story fit into how this company flushes itself away.

They try to make you look like a fool

You are more valuable than how you are being treated here - I'm pretty sure that's true for almost everyone here. Is it normal for a boss to try to make an employee look like a fool? Of course not. Their job is to try to get the best out of... — read more

DSM messaging

Was anyone else on the call where the DSM said we are sending staff to FL to ‘make it seem as if we care?’ Unbelievable. Prime example of how detached some of the higher ups are. Sad

How will Allstate do???

TEST VS RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE

You use a test to select. Then those who test and are selected leave, because they really didn’t do the job before and now they don’t want to because it IS demanding and they can’t. It is never “just” a test. You have to look at the individual... — read more

They don't have a clue who the best employees are

Allstate doesn't care enough to know who the best employees are, who does the most work, who has the best skillset, and so on. That's why there's no point in even trying to make an extra effort here. Why there are still those who strive to be... — read more
