Auto-Owners Insurance reviews

- Zero paid maternity/paternity leave. Plan on draining your vacation because AO does the bare minimum required by federal law. Sure you can come back, but you’ll be so broke by the time your child can viably attend day care that you probably can’t afford to because... - The salaries are SO low. They’ll tell you that you’ll get bonuses that make up for it and the benefits package is amazing but... - Good luck using the health insurance. Its so hard to find a doctor that accepts whatever strange healthcare they offer, you may as well decline it and pay out of pocket. - The job security is great but it creates lazy employees. You have to try to get fired. - They brag about how many career opportunities there are within AO, but they’re only available to those management decides they want there. - You’re stuck in a never ending maze of beige cubicles for 8 hours every day. Often times the only thing you can hear for hours is people sneezing from the latest viral infection plaguing the office, fingers tapping on keyboards, or elevator music periodically playing from crackling speakers. Hopefully that doesn’t drive you insane because... - No work from home. If it’s -20 and a blizzard and the state is closed and the police declared an emergency, you’re still expected to show up or take vacay. Oh your kids daycare is closed? Maybe you shouldn’t have had one. - Raises don’t even get close to matching inflation. - Last but not least, NO PAID MATERNITY LEAVE. It’s 2019. AO claims to be family friendly. Maybe for men? What’s the deal with this?

You are payed below the industry here You are expected to do the work of 2 people You will not be paid overtime as a salaried employee If you work overtime, that is "your choice" They are very secretive about the salary ranges of their positions Raises are also very secretive, at other carriers - you could get up to 3% - basically if you aren't a good employee, you get 0%, if you are average you get 1%, if above average you can get 2% and if excellent you get 3%, it doesn't work that way here. Raises seem to be in multiples of $500 - like 500/1000/1500 - etc. There is no clarity about how your raise is determined or why you get what you get. Auto Owners is still in the 20th century, they do not act in good faith, and I find it hilarious that they are so secretive about salary ranges and what the benchmarks are on raises when one of their core values is honesty. It's almost like if you have ever watched the movie Wanted - Morgan Freeman gets the names of people from the cloth, I wonder if they have a similar operation in home office. That is kind of how it feels.
