Allstate SURVEY SAYS


Nicer at the top

The dress code, says one source, is “business casual, so most people wear slacks and polo-type shirts,” while “the officers generally are in button-down shirts and slacks with nicer shoes than us non-officers.”  Moreover, Allstate has long ago relaxed its “famously formal” dress code (which required “dresses or modest skirts and nylons for women, while men had to wear coats and ties”), and staffers now “commonly” dress in business casual attire, although “jeans, skirts that are extremely short, and shirts without collars or with printed slogans or advertising on them” are prohibited.
