Allstate reviews

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!

The “transformational growth” was a veiled term to refer to laying off thousands of employees in necessary positions to justify hundreds of do-nothing upper admin positions and shore up market share. The company treats you like an expendable human resource behind a veil of kindness. You’re made to feel appreciative of your low pay and if you don’t, you’re outcasted from career opportunities. It’s a neo-corporate trend of having an unspoken paper-mill style work environment. The job “mobility” consists primarily of numerous lateral moves that give you more responsibility and no pay increases. Actual promotions or significant changes in pay are determined by favoratism. How well you brown nose and drink the corporate kool aid determines your likelihood of being truly promoted, and even then you’re competing with a bunch of other over-qualified people. Your peers in other career sectors will quickly outpace you in advancement and pay. Allstate also pays low compared to their competitors across the board, but somehow manages to get really talented people. Not sure how but it’s probably some evil corporate scheme.
