Once upon a time, I used to love my job

Sadly, it's been years since I felt anything even close to that. People who have no idea how to run this company have managed to run it into the ground. The only reason I'm still here is that the pay I receive is still decent. That's it. I also don't... — read more 

NatGen Benefit and Job Title Switch in 2022

Competitiveness and market trends

How would you rate how successfully Allstate evaluate competitive and market trends? I think Allstate is lost and doesn’t even recognize where the company has opportunities.

It’s the same everywhere

I contemplated leaving off and on for the last 2 years. I keep in touch with former colleagues who have moved on as well as friends and family who are well into their careers. The consensus always seems to be the same. No one is happy with their job... — read more

It was Great

There were great times and successes. Money/profit will rule, we all know that. I hope AllState continues to prosper and be profitable. I am grateful for the years I had. I just have to say, HR you really could have made better selections.

What prevents Allstate from

rolling out a new, well executed and sophisticated product line as someone mentioned, which is crucial for this company? Without a great new product line, everything is just one big joke. Almost everyone understands how important and necessary this... — read more
