Allstate reviews

Senior Management has no focus or direction. Every year one or two new initiatives that get pushed down that are a lot of fluff and no substance. There is a big push when it is first launched and then it just fades away because it is not leading us anywhere but in circles. Allstate is also has the mentality of you should be thankful we give you a place to work. Year after year they let very talented people walk out the door because they are not willing to pay them what the marketplace says they should be paid. The feeling is that Allstate will always be able to find someone to take their place. This tends to lead to knowledge loss and many mistakes repeating them selves. There will be a project to recreate the wheel at least once a year because they do not learn from their mistakes.

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.
