Allstate reviews

Outsourcing, layoff fears, not the most professional work environment, many employees in my dept didn't care about breaking rules, etc. Pay very low.

PTO was a drag to take - required minimum of 1 day for pre-approval. If you had an emergency, you got a "mark" on your file. That being said, if you even THOUGHT you MIGHT be sick the following day, you had to let your manager know the day before - then you wouldn't get dinged. Ridiculous. In my particular case, I worked harder than other people who had been there longer and that created anomosity. They had skated by for so long, they didn't like someone who showed up and actually did work. However, when reviews came around, we all got he same, standard review and rating. The race card was frequently played by some (I can only speak for the dept. I was in), and management was afraid to address the problem, for fear of legal action. Eventually I left the department, only to be completely let down in the new position - not what it was made out to be. I left the company a few months later.
