Auto-Owners Insurance reviews

Executives lie to the company and make decisions based on how they are feeling rather than facts or data. Assured employees they were not going to change the work from home program, and then 8 months later sent out an email telling everyone they had to be in 2 days a week, a big increase from 1 day a month. Reason for the change is to make culture stronger, even though IT department has been very vocal about enjoying working from home and think it has actually improved culture. They also consider everything “high priority” and don’t seem to care that IT has too much on their plate with unrealistic timelines. Also way underpaid, people who have been working here for over 20 years still aren’t making 6 figures and you have to get up to the director level to see a larger increase in pay. Claim they have great benefits, they are good at best, many companies have benefits that are just as good if not better and they pay you more on top of it.

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.
