Allstate reviews

-Numerous broken promises about money to be made and which partners I would work with. -Very young manager, very difficult to get a hold of -They say they want to do investment business, but it is not true they are not set up at all to do investments. -Very poor computer systems. Very poor support for agents and FS. -No humans to talk to unless you got thru 10 prompts with voice robots. -Sorry to say this but very low percentage of employees who have completed college.

Working for Allstate's National Catastrophe Team and all divisions related to it is like being back in high school. It's a populartiy contest and if you arent someones "best friend" you are their "mortal enemy" and if you dont drink the kool-aid and follow even some of the worst business decisions into darkness you are ostracized and eventually forced out of the company for various reasons, however they are known for using the corporate HR scapegoat of the excuse "COMPLIANCE" which in their terms loosely means "we dont like you". I drank the kool-aid for a several years and then realized that I was not going anywhere and even when I knew for a fact that my colleagues and co-workers were all jumping ship because the writing was clearly on the wall, I still maintained that things will get better. Other items that would deter most is: lack of continuity in home office decisions related to customers; well below average salaries; and false predication of advancement opportunities.
