Allstate Insurance Company

"the company is woman friendly in general but the company policies are not very work visa friendly. God forbid if actual help is needed, HR just throws in the towel."

"be prepared to work hard. Worried about people who do the work and get the job done being recognized over the "schmoozers" (as with most major corps. Ultimately, I see more women in certain departments being embraced. "

"Great place to work at first. Lay-offs occur regularly. Do not expect to spend career there. "

"While they have work life balance they don’t do anything amazing. Maternity is just short term disability. "

"There are two ways to work for Allstate; either in an agency or corporate. I believe on the corporate side of things, the equality is much better. However, if you work for an agent, the pay, benefits, etc. is based on what they want to provide. A lot of agents are great, but in my time I've noticed a lot of differences in what agents pay their staff, how much they disclose to their staff, and here in Utah it's definitely a boys club unfortunately. "

"Great place for growth and development CMO is a woman "

"The company treats its employees very well, however the maternity leave is a bit dated. "

"I think if you are anything but a developer/programmer, you'll be "in good hands"."

"It all depends on the department. Culture varies by group and office location."

"They say all the right things, but none of it is true!! "

"This is Everyday Insurance Agency Inc review Make sure before you work there you are okay with a management that is very difficult, and likes to being others down. Not a feminist and very closed minded. But the compensation is good if you can stay there for more than 4 years, anywhere before that it is lower than average. "

"agency owners are both men and women. Insurance biz is up and down with the economy make sure they have processes in place."

"They truly value your well being. Allstate understands if people need to adjust their hours to be able to best accommodate. "

"The company employs a higher volume of women in specific areas. In my department, it was primarily women, which was actually not a good thing. There was a lot of bullying, which created a hostile environment. Women did not support women and instead tore them down to get ahead. Talented women have been leaving the company at an alarmingly rapid pace."

"great place to work and learn a lot to move up in the future"

"Great work-life balance and respect for family time/taking care of yourself personally. Plenty of Employee Resource Groups that are very active across the US."

"Allstate is a great company for women looking for a work/life balance. They have great benefits, a decent maternity leave policy, and had several women in executive roles willing to be mentors and role models. If you are looking for advancing your career as a women, it may be difficult to do here. There was a big gap between early level leaders and Directors, with the Manager/Sr Manager stepping stone role almost completely eliminated in my department, and most other senior roles in other areas were held by while men. Unfortunately it was very hard to see a long-term career here, even though the culture and people were fantastic."

"There are quite a few women represented in upper management. I feel Allstate implementing Continuous Improvement has opened the company up for better employee relations. "

"Allstate definitely promotes a flexible work environment and many women are high ranking corporate officers. "

"Overall it is a great company but it is still very male dominated. "

"Offers great mothers rooms."

"The company is very flexible, the majority of people in my office are women"

"I have been in multiple positions over my 8 years at Allstate. I have been encouraged to grow and develop my skills and training and have been given multiple opportunities to sustain a proper work/life balance."

"This is a great place to work. Managers and team members value work life balance."

"I've worked at Allstate for over 5 years. There are quite a few women working here but most are in lower management positions. While they are generous with vacation, working over 10 hours days are common. You may also be working during your vacation by staying on top or emails and calling in for important meetings. Promotions and advancement do not correlate to performance but who you know and who is willing to be an advocate for you. Management specifically in the IT PMO has turned into a "Mean Girls" club and they are weeding out some great resources just based on not liking them."

"I have worked here for a long time. However, the work culture has changed dramatically in the past 2-3 years and where a 40-45 work week was fairly normal and the work load was reasonable, now it is a 50+ work week and the expectations are often unattainable - unless you want to put in around 60 hours a week ... Work/life balance for exempt employees is non existent unless you don't meet expectations"

"The corporate is okay but the branch was very weak."
