Auto-Owners Insurance reviews

At A-O it does not matter how you perform rather, it's how influence peddlers think you perform. No management by objectives at A-O. Without profit centers, budgets and measurements that are objective good people are subjected below par recognition and rewards. A very small middle-aged professional class at A-O. If you are not tapped for an officer level position their is little other path to career fulfillment and a professional level of compensation. Especially tough on people who move to Lansing and only later discover both their economic status and career options are both in deep peril.

Not firing people because of lack of performance, and not tying performance to raises/promotions, fosters a level of apathy. Promotions are based on time at the company, not ability. Raises seem to depend very little on workload performed, overtime put in or extra responsibilities assumed. High performers and low performers are paid very similar wages. There is no real motivating factor to make people work harder. It is more important that you wear a tie and show up between 8:00 and 4:30 than it is that you are competent at your job.
