Pros

Overall culture and people in the area and on the teams that I work directly with are good people. Compensation seems fair. Benefits are typical. They offered me 10K more salary than I asked for because I under estimated myself. Transitioned to remote work with the pandemic and have been remote since. In my part of the company, work/life balance is good. As long as my work is done well and on time, I have freedom to adjust my days as needed. (reasonably)

Cons

Went through several org changes within a 5 year period. Had 3 different job titles with no change in the actual job. My department was sold to another company and because of another org change, my position will be eliminated. New positions were opened that they said were lateral/related, but the are not at all. Completely different role and qualifications. So there isn't much in the way of a career path or next steps. Also have not given any information on timeline for when I/we will be laid off other than the 'current year', so that's a huge unknown. Very much focused on 'the bottom line'. Company does not seem stable due to so many large and frequent changes.

Pros

Allstate invests a lot of money into their training program. Which is great! However, you then get dumped into whatever office you are going to work for and all their hard work and cultivation goes out the window.

Cons

- Core Logic is used to schedule claims. There is no logic though and claims will be 1 hour + drive time apart. - intentionally gives unmanageable workloads while also driving metric scores down your throat. Resulting in frequent extended work hours, that are unpaid. The companies position is to “work until the work is completed- how ever many hours it takes” - HUGE disconnect between the upper management and the frontline staff. We are expected to be the face of the company, while also being told metrics are more important than the customer experience???

Pros

The biggest perks of the job were the flexibility of working remotely and the salaried pay. Things happen in life sometimes more often for some people compared to others and a salary position took away the stress of dealing with timekeeping rules that are usually a big part of hourly positions. - What really made the experience stand out, though, were the amazing connections made with team members, agency staff, customers, and even reps from other insurance companies.

Cons

- The downsides of working at this company were significant. The workload was heavy, and the systems in place made it difficult to work independently. There was no clear point of contact for questions, and all correspondence was directed to the claim owner, adding extra work to filter and assign to the correct person. When there are inquiries regarding the handling of the damage portion, you can't connect with those who determine value, inspect, or estimate, as their involvement ends there. The rest is handled by processing and support services. Handling customer inquiries, status requests, and disputes became nearly impossible, as reaching out to one person often resulted in being redirected to outsourced support. - While the starting salary was decent, the benefits were expensive, especially for employees with families. Even with the company’s contribution, net pay was only slightly above minimum wage unless you had a higher starting salary. Performance reviews and raises were at management’s discretion and often influenced by favoritism. As a result, many employees found ways to alter their metrics without actually delivering customer service or fulfilling their role. Despite the company’s claims to value customer care, honesty, and integrity, those who adhered to these values often fall behind. - Be aware once you’re on upper management’s radar, it becomes a game of cat and mouse. Try to hold on long enough to secure something else and give them something they didn’t anticipate. Turn the chase into a dance, keep them guessing, leave a lasting impression and take pride as you embark on your next journey.
