"Typical Day"

     For the internship program my typical day varies from one way to another. Depending on what department I am in I can either be doing cost management in the morning in the auto department or I can be doing what we commonly refer to as the “5080” emails in the property department. If I am in the auto department I start off my day working with checks and vendors, I verify that the checks are complete and issue them out; however, if the bill does not line up with the information that we have on the claim we must contact the vendor in order to discuss which person has the correct estimate. If I am working in property, I do a lot of gathering information through what we call the “5080 emails.” The information that I can gather in these claims vary and usually revolve around estimates, additional living expenses, photos regarding the claim (some photos can be pretty interesting) and any legal documentation that can regard the claim. Sometime between working those claims, I usually ask my supervisor at the time if they have any special projects that they would like me to work on. The special projects can vary from something like contacting an individual or it can be adding up the additional cost of living expenses. Overall though, there is really no “typical” day at Allstate, but every day is a new adventure and something to learn from.
