Uh oh. This is how it ALL started in April 2020. With this same type of meeting denying any layoffs on the table and then 60 days later announcing layoffs would happen. They are about a month earlier this go around.
The pressure is growing
It's getting worse here day by day. Is it possible that the management is not aware of the pressure on employees and that because of that pressure we are losing people who are not easy to replace? They don’t even seem to be aware that... — read more
Forbes India: If we think about our employees, we will be a more effective organization: Allstate India's Chetan Garga

I just hope it doesn't get any worse
Of course I’m not happy here, but since I still can’t get anything better, my only hope is that it won’t get worse here. I hope not. Otherwise, I would accept any other job and I would not be picky at all.
No Severance For Claims...because we are not getting laid off
They will be repurposing us into a CCC or ATSC frontline role. Our group was told this Friday as we are being move to CCC. Way short staffed there and not moving those areas to India. Not hiring new hires but replacing with tenured talent. That is... — read more
More layoffs coming to claims in 2022
Allstate Chair, President, and CEO Tom Wilson said the company’s expense reduction program is “well laid out” and “includes everything from using digital processes and getting rid of extra labor to using more outsourcing and cleaning up our processes... — read more
SCO (Legal)
A team has been created to work towards Answer automation. If you work in Legal, you know what that is. Anyone know if this means they are working to get rid of paralegals/admin and automate their jobs? Seems like this would be challenging, but many... — read more
Making more after returning?
Companies don't care about you, they never will. I have seen several of my coworkers go to other companies with most going to Progressive and Geico. They have realized that it is just as bad there as it is at Allstate. A few came back last month and... — read more
Todays meeting
After todays meeting, I now know that it’s time to go. Thanks for giving me the push to stop procrastinating and just gooooooo!
Post transformative purge
Lol just leave. I left to another national firm for the same adjuster position and got a 20% bump in pay. Just leave.
I would love for Allstate to get back on track
Good leadership, or good decisions, could do wonders and fix this mess. However, it seems that this is no longer possible and that it is too late to get this company back on track?
Bonuses
Comp statements out. How were bonuses for those eligible?
Phoenix? Phoenix.
All the postings for Phoenix on the allstate.jobs site are for director- or VP-level positions. What's up with that?
Don't let any company rob you of your spirit!
Here’s a story about my former colleague. He worked here for years and always pushed himself to perform to the best of his abilities. He was one of those guys who lived for his job, always loyal to Allstate. And then he got laid off. None of our... — read more
Allstate isn’t competitive in rates or pay
I work for a competitor and get a sick satisfaction when droves of customers keep coming to us because Allstate jacked their rates up. We all knew the pay is a joke.
Home of substandard claim handling
I came here after working for two other carriers and I am astounded at how many processes are in place to simply write coverage. It seems as though this is by design to drag the claims out. On top of that , the required production is nowhere near... — read more
Claims leaders
It seems the new style CSL’s have been extremely under qualified “yes” types only. Not skilled or Knowledgeable leaders at all. My whole area of the country has noticed this new direction. Are they trying to sink this ship faster???
Where is the DOI
The way we handle claims is bad faith on a daily basis! Where/when will the DOI step in and protect the customer!? It is maddening that a company this size is allowed to operate this way. I literally see or hear bad faith claim handling on a daily... — read more
Not so great way to start a career in insurance?
If I had the misfortune to gain my first experience in the insurance world here at Allstate, I would surely be looking to get out of this industry forever. I know a person who, after the experience here, completely changed the industry. Now she... — read more
What do you want?
I've read so much discontent here but I really want to know: what do you want? Is a company supposed to pay you lots of money and make no money? What would you change? It feels like everyone here wants to be paid to do nothing and believes that if... — read more
Internal Hiring
Is it just me or has the internal hiring process gotten worse? Myself and two others have applied and interviewed for other positions within the company and are going on month two post interview with no update. There has also been situations in which... — read more
We need to hire more claims adjusters in 2022
No more layoffs please! We’re so over staffed that we’re doing the work of 2-3 adjusters. Every Sunday I can’t sleep knowing Monday morning I’ll be buried in 10-12 new claims and spending Half my day on the phone with angry shops insured and... — read more
Inflation requires Allstate to give us raiders to accommodate for cost of living
Please Allstate bump our pay so we can eat .
We need a raise due to Inflation and cost of living increases!
Prices for food, gas abs daily necessities are up almost 30% if not more! Allstate has billions set inside and after overworking is the last 2 years due yo masher layoffs we’re due some kind of increase in pay ! Other insurance companies such as... — read more
Has anyone heard if offices are opening?
If so what locations?
One ask
I only ask that if Allstate is doing another round of layoffs, then they ask who wants to go and offer them a package (assuming that is still on the table). I for one, want a buyout, but was not offered to me in the last go around. This way, the... — read more
The end of TGP
No one but our leadership likes the Transformative Growth Plan. I just wonder how it all will end and what Allstate will look like when the leadership finally realizes that TGP is very destructive. What do you think this company will be like when... — read more
At least Glenn cares
At least Glenn is kind enough to take time out of his day to have meeting and provide insight into what is happening. He is also very respectful and treats people with dignity. Just saying
PL Connections Meeting with GS
Here we go boys! Favorite meeting if the week!
Possible Layoffs Soon
We had a big town hall in claims today. A lot of references to "minimizing expenses", "increasing labor efficiencies", "eliminating waste" and "stream lining processes" as we move into 2022 were commonplace. They openly said the next phase of... — read more
Where can I find Allstate W2?
I left in June 2021.
Conference Call
Let’s see what type of BS and lies comes out of National Generals mouth today at the meeting. Stay tuned……..
Illegal
It’s illegal that this company has not mailed W-2’s.
Cash out 401k
I let Allstate and need to rollover my 401k. What if I cash out my entire 401k and buy a rental property? I’m under 35, have a decent job and low debt. I’m sick of the corporate grind, and interested in building a rental portfolio — read more
W-2s
Hey everyone, I left the company last year and haven’t gotten my w2 yet. Has any former employee got theirs yet? I usually received mines electronically from that website which I obviously no longer have access to anymore lol please let me know — read more
Retention continues to drop
Retention continues to drop year over year.. The reason that the “snake” needs to continually increase the advertising budget. The only way to remain profitable when you lose customers is to entice more…..but there is a limited pool and current... — read more
Changes to the severance plan
I hope there will be no changes to the severance plan, but you never know. It’s not a good idea to stay here just because of severance pay, but let’s be realistic, there are a lot of people just waiting for it. Do you think there will be any... — read more
