But let’s keep looking to see what we uncovered on how to get a job at Allstate with a felony.

Does Allstate hire people with misdemeanors?

Will Allstate hire you with pending charges?

Considering what we kmow about their stance on hiring people with convictions, there’s a good chance the company is going to want to wait unti you’ve been cleared of all charges.

Is Allstate on the Ban the Box list?

Are you aware that the Ban the Box campaign was designed to equal the playing field for job seekers with a criminal background? It’s true. Ban the Box is geared at having companies remove all questions about criminal histories from their applications. By doing so, employers make hiring decisions from the applicant’s experience and skills — not their criminal record.

The Fair Chance Business Pledge is another program that’s known for assisting former felons. Companies sign the Pledge to commit to fair hiring practices for all, including former felons.

Unfortunately, like many companies, Allstate wasn’t found to support either of these initiatives. But it’s okay — being a supporter isn’t required in order to be able to hire someone with a criminal past!

No, they don’t. While these programs are great, most companies don’t offer them. Even though Allstate doesn’t have any of these programs, we saw they offer reimbursement for classes and licenses after two years of service.
