Pros

Auto-Owners is an amazing place to work! I’ve had prior experience at another carrier and this really is a dream job. We get to work from home 3 days a week and go into the office two days a week. This is a very personable and family friend company. I also have some truly amazing coworkers.

Cons

Salaries need to moved up a bit to compete with the industry and it would be nice if they could offer overtime when workload demands are needed.
