So glad I got out! I found a higher pay and a better work/life balance. You can do it...keep looking and do the absolute minimum until you can leave in order to keep your sanity. Allstate doesn’t care about the work environment and actually... — read more
Is tomorrow the day!?
All Claims town hall meeting tomorrow. Will they say anything about potential layoffs? Or just give us a bunch of fluff about the future of the company?
The Sunday Night Terrors
They are especially bad tonight. Couldn't keep dinner down and I can feel my blood pressure is through the roof right now. I am trying to stay awake as long as I can as once I fall asleep tomorrow comes much too quick. Lord I hate this... — read more

Allstate needs to give utility allowances
Like most other large insurance companies do for their employees that were forced to move to work from home Allstate needs to give each employee a monthly utility allowance until a full return to office is done. Our power and water bills have gone up... — read more
Shapiro actually blaming department leaders for claims work being so far behind
Glenn is asking "why is this happening" regarding claims work being so far behind. He is not even acknowledging that layoffs have a thing to do with it. Even telling claims leaders that they need to push their groups to "work harder" and to resolve... — read more
One more year
My best advice for people that have been at allstate more than a couple years is to hold on another year unless you have a better paying job lined up at a good company. Make allstate lay you off and collect severence. Also just do enough to get... — read more
2021 RIF
fellow Allstaters many are great friends and even others I work with I enjoy and relate to at the TRUE work grunt level. That is those of us that actually generate shareholder value. You could be in way worse position I had another offer before... — read more
Yearly Review was today. BTE and 1.5% raise!?!?!?
These clowns have some real nerve. Tom and Glenn can stick it! Insulting! I did a little Transformative Growth this afternoon and for the rest of my Allstate career I am now an "expected" employee....not a bit of effort more. Bring on my... — read more
Gs and TW wouldn’t be were they are without hard work.
Let’s just keep it real
Employee Appreciation Day
Glad GS showed appreciation to us. What a nice guy!
Got the scoop on 2021 assessments and severance
Assessments in 2021 are from same vendor but different format and new puzzle tests. Severance will be offered at same 2 weeks per year of service for employees with 5 years or more tenure that are impacted. Placement internally to other areas of... — read more
Allstate - Lowest Paying Carrier Around. Competitive Pay ? I don’t think so !
Transformative growth has been a nightmare! With all sorts of changes everyone is completely overwhelmed and you can tell moral is down 1000%. Every job description at Allstate say that they offer competitive pay ... this is a complete lie... — read more
Employee Appreciation Day
Came into an email that says “thank you for all you do to drive results”... Can we get real appreciation now? Instead of his an email and the expectation to go and crank out work?
Blackmailed?
Is it possible that some of our leaders are being blackmailed? Does anyone else remember some notice sent to us that ceo's and corporate leaders becoming victims of financial blackmail by hackers or something like that? It was a few months before... — read more
Appreciate yourself, because Allstate won’t
I remember the whole budget year BS. They would always give me 1-2.5% for expected and then I found out, after talking to a coworker who’s production was less than mine, that she has never recd anything less than 3.5%. Her father had been a csl for... — read more
ASIC and RMBC hiring BIG!!!
All at 2 bands lower for the same positions they eliminated last year! YAAAAY!!!!
More layoffs coming
With the merge of nat general. Assessments will be giving. Be on the look out. We are not safe.
American insurance jobs in offices are no more
They’ve been able to move claims all around with these zones. That has truly proven that geography, community, and locations do not matter. Agents in little offices are doomed. The business is headed in an AI, self service, off shore direction. No... — read more
RMBC/ASIC new business model
If rmbc is now band 3, 4, and 5 and ASIC is band 2 then why did allstate layoff 90% of RMBC?
AllstateIndia.com Read before It's taken

The demand for perfection
I don't get how Allstate can have demands for perfection from its employees. Pure arrogance! They have lost touch with reality. Obviously they have no idea what kind of conditions we work in and don't care how we achieve this. I am sick of their... — read more

Leaving Big Blue before I quit
Not only have I been an employee for nearly 2 decades, but a loyal customer too. While I am looking for a new job, I have also looked for a new insurance carrier. I shopped around and was shocked to find how much I could save by changing. Now I am... — read more
Why is Allstate investing 9M in marketing this year and not in staff to service clients so they will stay?
So short sighted get them in but don’t service them properly so they’ll stay. What a waste!
Raises
So I'm just curious, if anyone is a band 4 or 5. What percent of a raise do you get for expected or better than expected rating?
20% turnover is acceptable
It has been said on many calls that a 20% turnover rate is not only expected, but acceptable. Perhaps the good employees here at blue should exceed their expectations as they always do and give them more like 50-60% as a result. That would be fun to... — read more
Job ideas
Lets change it up some. I'm sure there are quite a few claims employees looking to get out. What are some industires/jobs that we should apply for when looking to get out of here?

Will free fall stop?
It seems to me that this company is falling apart faster and faster. When I think it can’t get any worse, it surprises me. I thought free fall would stop at some point, but no. We are still falling. I hope this free fall will stop before the company... — read more
Change at the top is necessary to fix this
We've all heard the phrase: 'You can't make this up." It seriously applies here. TW and GS have turned a deaf ear to the wants and needs of the very people who bust their a$$es every day to generate their paychecks. This is shameful on so many... — read more
Question about severance
Is Allstate severance same for everybody or does it differ by age? What I mean is, I know there is a certain number of weeks for however many years a person worked here but what if that person is over 60? Does that change anything? Are there any... — read more

What is it like being a claims adjuster?
I am so thinking of applying to Allstate as a claims adjuster. I see the salary is $51,000. Would you recommend or not recommend and why?

Stop the bleeding
15 policies cancelled alone today. People have had enough of Allstate crazy rate increases and claim service. Most are going to Progressive and Geico.
