Allstate’s success hinges on our ability to attract and retain high-quality employees who know they are valued for their expertise, abilities and dedication. We support and motivate our employees with a total compensation and benefits package that includes competitive salaries and more. Among other rewards, employees may receive annual merit-based raises in a “pay for performance” environment that recognizes individual accomplishment and contributions. In 2006, Allstate paid $3.5 billion in non-agent employee compensation, payroll taxes and benefits.
