Is it still 1916? - Support Auto-Owners Insurance Employee Review

Pros

If you catch the eye of an executive, you may do well. If you are young and attractive (don't have to know a thing), they'll love you and promote you. I had a supervisor at on e point who was dumber than a box or rocks.

Cons

This company was founded in 1916 and it’s still operated as if it’s 1916. Management micro-manages you and put more work on you than you can accomplish in a normal work week, especially the claims branch. They have unit specialists doing the job of a claim rep, with no compensation and no title raise. They operate as if there are no laws to protect the employees….oh wait a minute, there aren’t protections. It’s Michigan and they are an at-will employer. So be careful, if you can’t keep up with the amount of work, they’ll make your life a living hell until you can’t take it anymore and quit. They don’t treat the elderly and older employees very well, they really don’t want you to retire there, they want you out so they can hire some young 18 year old that will start making $25,000 a year. Yes, they really do pay that in 2018, no lie. They famously hire outside the company and don’t give employees opportunities who have paid their dues and put in their time. They don’t appreciate what you do and make sure that you know that the bonuses are not guaranteed. But how much does the CEO make? Rarely are you appreciated for what you do, even when you go above and beyond and stay late working without getting compensated for it. They promise you will go far if you do that, but only if you have your head up the VP’s hind end, and he likes it.

Pros

Easy job to do if you’re halfway smart and actually try.

Cons

Low salary compared to other companies. Raise your concerns with this or anything else and management basically blackballs you for any opportunity for growth. You can do twice as much work as some of your co-workers and still get the same measly 3% annual raise. You’re better off coasting through the job rather than giving 100% effort. The harder you work, the more responsibilities they give you without any monetary compensation.
