I occasionally post my resume on various job boards, I've been doing it for years just to see if there's anything out there but it was always ignored - until now. Color me shocked when I started receiving offers in the last two months, including one... — read more

Advice for those who are considering leaving
Do not look back. I know many are hesitant because changing your job can be scary for so many reasons and suddenly your current job doesn't look as bad (for a full five minutes before the reality hits you once again). That's why you have to keep... — read more

cut more HO
At this point of your goal to cut expenses (I agree), keep cutting HO and field HO people. If not, make them work for you and deliver results. They are not managed.
Arity QCM
We had it quarterly communication meeting this morning and Gary has mastered Tom Wilson's playbook of not actually answering any questions he's asked or blaming the Enterprise for the delay in action. Some notes: Sounds like they aren't interested... — read more
Competitors are increasingly ahead of Allstate?
I think they are. In every sense they are getting ahead of this company and now I regret that I have moved here from one such company that's going forward, while Allstate is going backwards. Of course, it's not ideal there either, far from... — read more
It's not worth it anymore
We are not paid enough for the cr-p they've been putting us through and for the amount of work they've been getting from us in return. When's the last time we had a decent raise? I can't remember. With the inflation going up, what we get now is worth... — read more
Reap what you sow
Allstate announced 3rd results and they were horrible. They blame it on rising severity. If they hadn’t fired most of claims staff and the legal teams instead of outsourcing to India. Exactly what they expected when they penny-pinch and bit them... — read more
Kronos
Biggest bull$hit thing this company has ever implemented. And now being “counseled” for stupid infractions. How many before the let me go!?
Crazy micromanagement
It’s such a horrible and aggressive micromanagement, that at times it’s ridiculous what managers, who should never have become managers, do to their employees. I have never experienced such destructive control anywhere. That person controls... — read more
Law & Reg 10wk training?
What is the point of this training that no one could provide context for or explain why they’re asking us to do it? Thank you, anonymous stranger, for asking whether or not they considered workloads and court reopenings when they assigned... — read more
Tom Wilson Charity
Take a look at all that Mr.Wilson has done to help underprivileged people in Chicago. Not saying he’s perfect, but that does paint him in a different light.
Lay off 2020al
Anyone know for the people laid off Nov 2020. How long would we need to wait to go back and not have to pay the severance back?

Now or never
I would not want to persuade anyone, everyone knows what is best for him or her, but I managed to get a new job for a significantly higher pay. Wage growth is obviously very rapid due to inflation, and that’s why I think this is a great moment to... — read more
Quick question
Does anyone know if there will be layoffs soon? I’m thinking about whether to go or wait to be laid off and pick up my severance. It’s not worth waiting if there won’t be any cuts going soon.
401k Transfer
I recently left this hellhole for another carrier, does anyone know how to transfer over the funds from their 401k?
Stock down $9 on bad 3rd quarter
Wall Street not impressed with the TG progress. And they are committing to another 3 point reduction in expense ratio over next 3 years. That can't be good on the jobs front.
Looks like Wilson was well regarded at Sears.
At Sears, Mr. Wilson contributed to such major projects as the spinoff of the retailer's remaining 80% stake in Allstate
Vaccine
So what do you think allstate will do to those that choose not to get vaccinated since they will comply with the government mandate
I'm desperate to leave Allstate
I'm miserable here and I've been trying so hard to find something that would allow me to leave, but every offer I've received in the past six months has been ridiculously low. I'm talking 40 to 50 percent under what I'm making now. I could afford to... — read more
I am more and more often ashamed
Yesterday was one of those situations, again, in which I was ashamed in front of the customer for something I shouldn’t be the one feeling shame, but Allstate. I know, I'm not the only one who's ashamed.
No motivation
I haven't cared for the company for a long time or the reasons why it doesn't even try to motivate its employees to be more productive. What worries me, however, is how to stay motivated for the bare minimum of work, until I finally get a better... — read more
Glassdoor Reviews are a SCAM
Took the time to write a review of this dumpster fire, rating it a one star rightfully. Of course it was never posted, despite using language that did not violate guidelines. When you see 4 and 5 star reviews with headlines “Great Benefits” and... — read more
Being an Executive is a really hard job
They work long hours(12 + hour days) have more stress than most people, and have a lot of moving parts they deal with. People should keep this in mind as well.
Holiday schedule
Down to six whole holidays. Why not just get a retail job. At least you can leave for the day and be able to shut it off and not worry about how much you have to do tomorrow.
Annual raises
With the staffing issues, turnover and inflation, do we still think allstate will be low on annual raises or compensate with those factors
Long Term Officers Retire
It is good to see some long term officers retire!! Good for the company and employees in those departments.
What's the value of "Working from home"
What do you think? 10% of your salary? 20%, 30%... Can you put a number on it. For example, would you chose an in-office job, all other things being equal (except for the current job being 'from home')88, for a 20% raise?
Brandt as CEO
Who things Brandt would be a good CEO?

I wish I could scale back
Am I the only person here whose work ethic won't allow him to intentionally do a job half-assed? Yes, I know the company has been treating us like cr-p but that doesn't mean I have to lower my own standards. I'm proud of my work. I won't put myself... — read more
Job postings
Knowing the layoffs and now seeing postings (some many months old and did have qualified people)!to fill positions does seem a little short sighted, kind of like a short term goal to get the bonus for that year and then worry about later, tomorrow... — read more
Transformative Cancer

Make it work for you!
If you people knew how hard it can be to terminate someone you would hit the brakes on how hard you are working and tell your respective manager you will work only w/in your hours and what does not get done will simply have to wait. It isn’t your... — read more
