Nearly all of e.Republic's owners and upper management, and many other employees, are Scientologists. An executive with the company from 1992-2013,[3] Don Pearson was involved in a scandal with Allstate Insurance[4] after he used Scientology management techniques in training sessions with thousands of Allstate managers. e.Republic has previously been listed in the WISE Directory and used Scientology materials and methods in its business.[5] In March 2021, The Daily Beast published an article in which current and former employees "reveal how the media firm e.Republic was not only run Scientologist execs but that they employed ruthless Scientology management principles."[6]
