Allstate Risk Assistant reviews

Layoffs, no promotions, incompetent managers, CEO isn’t good, disorganized

Company is trying to transform but struggles to get out of its own way So much red tape and 'work' through power points. Executives out of touch with their impact and no one challenges asks or comments, which leads to frequent fire drills or change of direction based on random comments. Risk Management department is not respected by the business and can't get traction. There are way too many VPs and Directors to form clear objectives. Responsibilities change among management regularly (due to turnover, change of responsibilities, development). This leads to change of direction every 6-9 months. Lots of rounds of layoffs and consistent threat of more. Systems are antiquated. Company has been losing market share for years. Agents don't like company. Rates and products are not competitive. Perceived brand advantage of service will be challenged as many claims and service functions shift offshore. Outside leaders don't last long. Allstate says they want to change and modernize, but Allstaters can't handle changes. High number of leaders coming into organization end up leaving and of course it was their problem, not Allstate's environment. Allstate nice - nice to your face and not behind your back - very passive aggressive.
