Allstate reviews

The system is designed to hinder and not help. Management does not listen to the employees. They waste employees' time with surveys that they seem not to pay attention to. Certain regions and departments provide little to no growth opportunity. So you may get stuck in a position. An example would be the claims department, unless you are mobile. And each office seems to be managed differently. Some offices are way more lax then others. The pay is horrible. They pay the new claims employees under 40k, but want you to have a degree and work over 40 hours/week. Really does not seem fair. And the raises in our office at least are the same for mostly every one. Too much busy work, i.e. list and emails.

Allstate is too conservative and old school. The systems are old and hard to replace as they were build with old technology in mind and the leaders are not willing to put the money to be innovative and competitive. Too much bureaucracy and inefficiency - There are too many Managers and very few people who do the work. Too many processes exist and get on the way of doing your job. Meetings are inefficient and it is hard to get a consistent decision fro leadership. Low salaries - Allstate does not compete on salary. Also, a position change does not mean your salary gets adjusted. If you change to a position where you should be making more, you don't get a raise. Viceversa, if you do something that pays less, you still get the higher pay.
