Allstate reviews

Excessive hours due to heavier than usual work loads, unreasonable goals, claims are not easy to settle as Allstate doesn't like to pay O&P on their claims. Very high rate of employee turnover. Management overrides decisions for insufficient reasons, undermining claims adjusters abilities and decisions based off of policy languages. Poor quality of training, and insufficient training before putting employees into the field.

Old company that is stuck in its ways. Many of the managers were successful 20-30 years ago and have held on to their comfortable job for the pension. These managers don't want to rock the boat or risk their career on a new project, so things move very slowly. The top 25% of talent is not adequately compensated for their abilities. The top 5% of talent is promoted very quickly through the very limited management spots at Allstate. The next 20% of talent occasionally gets an analyst promotion (~10% pay increase and no new responsibilities) and maxes out their annual merit increase (~7% per year). This group could make substantially more at a start-up-style company. The best workers don't have much work-life balance, but the typical 9-5 employee does not progress in their career. At Allstate, you really have to choose between the two.
