Allstate reviews

The reason you are given so much PTO, is because of how taxing the work is. I worked with Allstate agents for 3.5 years, assisting them with billing and policies. It was very demanding and draining. In the 3.5 years I was with Allstate, we were threatened with layoffs twice. The first time, they laid off over 50 people ‘Transformative Growth’ (and then started hiring again 6 months later due to understaffing). Then they outsourced my dept and moved about 50 people to a new dept. We did not have a choice, either we were forced into the new dept or we lost our jobs. Going through the stress of potential layoffs TWICE in 3.5 years was so ridiculous. And this happens every few years in most of their depts. Save yourself the stress!!

There is so much work and very little work/life balance, which leads me to believe the company doesn't care about the employees or customers. Management places unrealistic expectations/goals on the employees, assigns unmanageable workload. 70 - 80+ bi claims in a single month is the norm. Adjusters handle claims for 6-10 different states, and it's difficult to keep up with the constant changes. People are jumping ship...constant revolving door. When I realized that other insurance companies are paying their entry level LDU adjusters the same pay I was getting as a tenured employee at Allstate, I realized I was at the wrong company. I wouldn't recommend working here unless you are prepared to sacrifice your well-being and personal time.
