Pros
Allstate in the earlier years was a place everyone wants to work at. My team was diverse and inclusive. I also met some great people who became lifelong friends. The company overall was doing well. We had summer and winter outings, including charity events. And self-development workshops were available every month which I frequently attended. Also, great insurance package and generous PTO.
Cons
In 2019 to 2020, this is where you experience the true deception of Allstate. Management and upper management started to act differently in terms of motivation and development. During performance reviews, the goals became unrealistic which cause you to deny a raise and worsen morale (they definitely did this on purpose to make you quit during this time). Some management started to switch to other teams (to save themselves from poor management and employee relations management) while old managers don't know how to function as a leader (only work on their own work, while leaving the team behind - passive management). The favoritism and clicks became very apparent once this transitions. While some became very independent and was passive aggressive. During COVID, there were many talks about Allstate saying they were profitable and will not laid off anyone. Total LIE!!! Eventually when I and others were told we were part of the reduction in force group at the end of the year, everyone didn't care at that point. Even some of my colleagues who survived the layoff don't see Allstate as a prosperous place anymore and started job searching like the rest of us. After much research from Allstate's c-level executives, it was obvious they did not do much to save the many employees who are good employees and have been very loyal for 30, 40, 50 years. They figured the best way to deal it with it was to eliminate top performers and veteran's of the company since they make the most money. Other companies I've seen had their executives take a pay cut and receive no bonuses or even a global temporary payroll cut to save thousands of employees, but Allstate leadership is way too greedy and proud to do that!
