Auto-Owners Insurance Reviews

Cons

The pay could be higher

Cons

I NEED AUTO OWNERS TO HEAR ME ON THIS: The workload is completely unreasonable. You have the potential to be a great company to work for but your unwillingness to properly staff will continue to contribute to turnover. It's like pulling teeth to get one additional position when we need 10. You will save money by hiring more adjusters. If I had more time to properly manage and investigate my claims, I would save enough money to pay for another adjuster's position, we would have fewer complaints, and altogether more satisfied customers. The workload is abusive, quite honestly.

Cons

Salary determination is a closed door conversation that only the highest levels of leadership get to decide. Same with how many people we can hire. Salaries on the business side are on the low end and make it difficult to compete with other carriers after a while. I've heard IT salaries are better but I can't say for certain. There are few new benefits to lure good people in. We have a pension which is nice once you put the time in (5 years to become vested then wait until your retirement age to draw.) Company culture hasn't embraced national culture of immediate gratification.

Cons

The pay is terribly low. Transferring to a different department is nearly impossible, despite one of the core values being ‘opportunities for associates.” You have to ‘earn’ work from home time, even if you’ve been with the company for years. Training is all in office, despite the majority of it can be done from home. Promotions are non-existent, unless you have a certain designation(s), and making sure your numbers nearly double the company average. The ‘time in’ you have with the company does not matter when moving departments, as far as promotions and perks. Management puts more pressure on the associates that over perform to make up for the associates who under perform/slack off, creating a toxic work environment and ultimately makes us less profitable, productive, and efficient. Instead of correcting or addressing these KNOWN issues, Auto-Owners just circles around it.

Cons

High volume workload Sometimes direction from advisors can be lacking

Cons

Genuinely the only con in my mind is the pay.

Cons

Pay among industry is below average, pay increases are below average, PTO is not great, company cannot retain talent. If you're not IT, remote work is slowly being clawed away.

Cons

The pay here is not necessarily great.

Cons

This is a design immature organization. UX does not have a seat at the table and the company rushes to push out broken products by manipulation of a methodology called speed to market. Pay is not commensurate with responsibilities and demand placed on the individual UX designer. Team is micromanaged by a fellow UX Designer who isn't even the manager, who does not communicate with product teams and causes choas and disconnect while berating and degrading coworkers. Overall great way to stagnate your career in UX Design. Product teams do not allocate time for UX research. IT and Business are focused on what is the fastest and least amount of work to do, and how can they cut corners, instead of focusing on what actually matters to users. Demands and workload placed on a single designer equates to a workload for an entire team of designers. Expecting too much out of one person. Entire team is undermined by two individuals who have been with the team the longest, one who gets away with not doing their job and another who verbally abuses coworkers.

Cons

High turnover, repetitive work, and a lot of time on the phone.
