I currently work for allstate. I was hired on without any paperwork. therefore I legally don't have a job. when i was hired on i was super excited to work for a company that promised so much potential in growing. I have been there for about a week and i already am extremely miserable. the way we make calls are through a dialing system and all of the leads which are people's personal information is on an excel sheet. as a telemarketer i am required to make 200 calls in one day & to get 5 people to give their information over the phone. there is no call limit on any person. i feel awful calling and calling even when customers have obviously complained about not being interested. the customer HAS to say add me to the do not call list to be removed. even then. you don't get removed. you just get a note where your information is stored to do not call. now when it comes to the issues with my boss, my boss is never in the office. he has a right hand man very much like dwight from the office. today he pulled me in the office to lecture me over being late & taking an hour and a half lunch. mind you. i walked in right when my shift starts. because i'm not really hired i don't have any system to clock in to prove i was there on time. i also double checked to see if i took a longer lunch than i was supposed to & according to my call history i took right on the dot an hour lunch. today i received a better job opportunity that allows me to work from home which i will be taking however talk in the office is if you quit before you get paid you don't get paid for the hours you worked. if you're still reading this, this is where the scam really gets wild. not only do i not get breaks throughout the day but i also have to work my physical thearpy around my work schedule even though my physical therapist office closes at the same time i'm off. i've also been told on the promotion process. when and if i am promoted to a licensed insurance agent, i must sign a contract for a year saying i'll work there until that contract is up. my boss will then take the online state test for me. in the contract it will tell you that the test is over a grand. i did the research & if i do it on my own after finger printing & test fees it's about $260. if that contract is broken i will then have to pay my boss that thousand dollars back. i am completely prepared to quit however i've been told from other employees experience that if i don't continue to work until pay day i will not be paid for the hours i have worked. this job is such a scam. every person in my office besides one person is trying to find another job so they can quit. something truly needs to be done to manage the offices better. otherwise allstate will go no where. i have tried to contact hr time and time again. nobody picks up the phone and i have to have an extension number to even get in contact with anyone. what my boss is doing is wrong & i have no where to even report it. i promise you if i didn't need the money due to what has been going on with covid i would have already left. i'm sick of my boss and his right hand man not treating me the way i deserve to be treated. hopefully this starts some kind of snowball reaction & the situation gets fixed. i highly doubt it will. anyways. if anyone ever wants to work here be very and extremely careful. make sure you sign documents when you are hired on and make sure to your best ability that you will be treated the right way.Anonymous

I worked there 40 years - I was harassed so badly once I turned 55 that I had to retire early or have a nervous breakdown. It was announced in a sales meeting that they found someone to 'to get rid of me', she then got promoted to another dept and harassed others til the quit and then got promoted to HO - senior management couldn't manage their way out of a paper bag! I was a highly awarded employee and constantly received notes from people thanking me for a job well done.......
