Toxic and nepotistic.

Pros

Good place to get short term experience for future employment if you find the right department that is growing. Some work-life balance in certain departments.

Cons

Allstate is constantly looking to cut costs so there is zero job security as their CEO takes a short term focus to maintain and boost share price. Senior management is self serving/interested in achieving higher bonuses based on short term performance and not interested in developing their staff. If you happen to be liked (fit the typical old school corporate demographic) and suck up to the right officer, you may get promoted if there is an opening, although the senior level positions are being reduced. High turnover in most departments so watch your back. After a 3500 person RIF in 2020, there were 700 more cuts the following year and this is part of the "Transformative Growth Plan" to be the lowest cost auto provider. Aiming to provide cut rate insurance and selling off your corporate headquarters does not paint a picture of a good future or place to work.

Unmanageable workload

Recommend

Pros

Flexible Pto and great pay

Cons

If you take pto you come back buried in work and your pay that is based on a salary goes down due to having to work more hours to catch up. The phone is running constantly! You are penalized in your metrics for not answering but if you answer every call you will not get to any of your liabilities and be penalized again. You will never achieve the metrics due to the excessive workload and you will be placed on corrective action. You will have 150-200 claims with YOUR NAME on them. Those claims can remain open for 6-12 months or more. You get calls emails texts galore that you need to respond to same day. It’s like being a call center rep and a CEO ALL IN ONE! How do you run a business while responding to every communication all by yourself? YOU CAN’T! Save yourself the headache.

Pros

I love the team environment and my team interactions in general. The benefits are great as well with medical, dental, vision, 401k etc. The usual expected. They preach a good and healthy work life balance, family and personal time matter. They encourage and provide tools for self growth as well.

Cons

Adjusters are overloaded to the brim. Being a salary employee, you work far more than 8 hours a day to keep your desk in order. With the expectation that "you can handle it", you'll never have time to enjoy a work life balance, family, personal time, or use any of their awesome self growth tools. Best put, I wake up thinking about work and how swamped I am in claims, skip lunches, sometime eat dinner so late none of my family members are still at the table, then go to sleep worrying about what I didn't get done that still needs to be done for the day. My family assumes I live in my office and just accept I won't be around for everything. It is a horrible feeling. Working 10-12-14 hours a day and still not getting caught up is demoralizing. I can't remember the last time I worked 8 hours and was able to just get up with an accomplished feeling. Worst company I have ever worked for when it comes to work load and performance/production expectations. You can't take care of a customer in a timely manner when you're busy drowning, and it is like this all year around!
