So what is the real story behind that
Great performance is pointless
I used to try hard to have an excellent performance and all I got in return was even more work to do. Now that I don't put in nearly as much effort anymore, but have prioritized looking for a new job, I actually feel more valued. What's the point of... — read more
41 Year Old: Skills to Learn for Job Search
What skills should a 41 year old mid-level Product manager realistically learn to be considered by another employer? Have Math Degree Spent 15 years here Race/Gender/Preference shouldn't matter but it does - not in a favored category Better... — read more
Another Sunday Scaries
Here we are at another horrible Sunday night that so many of us Allstaters suffer through. The Sunday Scaries in full effect. Another evening of dreading the horrible things that await us at work tomorrow to start another week of agony at this... — read more
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
Why so much hate for Brandt
Name even 1 thing he has personally done that you feel was cold or snobby? He cares a lot about regular workers
meeting
there was a meeting today and one tomorrow. does anyone have any information on what "transformative growth" is happening yet? Or if any decisions have been made?
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
Claims Org
Anyone have any insight on how the claims organization operates now? Trying to figure out what the hierarchy is like, span of supervision, regional vs. virtual, thanks.
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
Sudden Retirement
Does anyone really believe that guy retired voluntarily? Who “retires” in the late afternoon/early evening on a weekday?
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
Negative Press
This website has now been featured by the press. Corporate trolls have been reported viewing these posts. Too bad Allstate management will never change and continue to be Sears mentality until Wilson is ousted by the board. Hundreds of agents are... — 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.
Just put in my 2 weeks from CCC Licensed, a weight off my shoulders.
I started in late 2020, I'm a Gen Zer and got onboarded into P&C from nothing, got all 50 Personal Lines licenses and some Life (lol rip I couldn't use by the time I got them) during my 2 years there. It was one of the first jobs I could call a "real... — read more
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
Will Town Hall announce Layoffs?
Think they will for once be transparent in a town hall and talk about the layoffs?
Big news in claims town hall
Hold on tight
So it has to be obvious to everyone by now!
Following the destruction resulting from Hurricane Ian, and Eric Brandt's firm, decisive, and dare I say loving leadership in the crisis... ...clearly Eric is THE leader for the future of Allstate!
ALL back above $130!!
Bet Tom and Glenn are happy about that
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???

Does AT&T's Lump-Sum Drop Apply to Allstate?
I saw that AT&T sent a memo to their employees warning them that they will lose up to 30% on their lump-sums due to rising interest rates. Will Allstate employees experience a similar drop in lump-sum... — read more
Has anyone heard the timeframe when layoffs/vendors will happen
I know some depts like ASIC and RMBC were told layoffs/vendors could happen last month but they never game a timetable. I think they did that to have people quit
CCC TAKES NEW BUSINESS QUOTE AND BINDS IT - LEAVES EA EGENT IN DUST
An EA has a customer with allstate homeowners paper. Over the weekend his customer called to uy a home policy. If forwrd to CCC and they bound the quote that the producer at the office created. The bound policy has the subproducer code on it. Now... — read more
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
PTO granted for Black Friday & Christmas!!!
I’ve only been at my new job 6 months & I was approved for Black Friday & Christmas PTO! Just saying - what good is PTO if you are denied when you want to use it? The grass IS greener at other insurers!
End of 3rd quater…
…do you think we will get an update soon on RIFs since the 3rd quarter ends this week?
Hurricane time
The response to this event should be pure comedy to watch. If you are in claims and looking to make a move, nows your chance to go somewhere and make a ton of money. If you stay you can rest assure that you will be disgustingly overworked even more... — read more
Anyone lost key contacts within allstate and everything got worse?
I worked with a man in security, risk area, who left about a month ago and now has bigger and better pay. I don’t blame him, he left before he got a job. From what I seen he became distant over the space of a few months. What I’m not a fan of is... — read more
Wouldn't it stink to get RIFed next week vs. this week and miss the better lump sum pension payouts that change after 11/30?
Is it a bridge too far to think that could be part of the plan?
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
It is greener on the other side!
I left Allstate over a year ago. I’m more present in my conversation with family, and much happier at my new place of employment! I also got a huge raise thinking I would have to take a pay cut, which was wrong! I feel bad for the ones left at... — read more
Pension Lump Sum Lower than my Co-worker
My pension lump sum is NOT as high as my coworker ? Does anyone know why? My co worker told me his numbers after 20 years and mine with be 50% LOWER after 20 years. I came from Geico in 2014? What am I missing.
Allstate Executives
The men and women who make up the executive team really do care about middle class workers!!
Leave Allstate or leave insurance?
I'm looking for a new job and mostly apply for jobs in this industry, but I'm wondering if maybe it's best to leave the industry. Unfortunately, I don't have enough transferable skills to apply for a job that I would really like to get in another... — read more
