Pros

Vanguard retirement plan. 7.5 hour work days.

Cons

"Culture", management, work environment, structure as a company. Get your experience and leave. Unless if you have a family member who is already an employee of the company, they'll mistreat you unless you don't have the potential to do better with your career. Minimal flexibility, if there's a snow day and a government warning not to be on the road, A-O will neglect it and demand you come in the office or use vacation/PTO. Speaking of time off, if you get sick or take vacation, they're mad at you because they'll assume you're looking elsewhere for employment No flexibility with time. Strict 1 hour maximum daily break and you must be punctual every day. You'll get in trouble for arriving a minute late and that's not even a joke, but a sad reality. Most of Management is corrupt and clueless when it comes to knowledge of their products and understanding of the work they receive, so they'll brush it off as if you're the problem. Can't state your honest opinions that differ from theirs or else they'll forever be a grudge held against you My review is on the polite end of the spectrum. Don't stay long or you'll end up as a miserable work horse. It's not a pleasant sight to see.

Pros

Pension, 37.5 hour work week, Christmas bonus, profit sharing. Some decent coworkers. Centrally located. Workload was reasonable for a long time, until they stopped staffing the office properly.

Cons

Promote people who simply are willing to move, NOT on their experience, knowledge or credentials. Good ole boys club. Managers are awkward, and are there just to fulfill a brief title requirement as they move up in the company/fast track. Managers have a severe distrust of all employees, and treat them like criminals. Company is very thrifty/cheap in all aspects from corporate travel, to every day office products or expenses. Lowest paying company in the industry. Antiquated company, always at least 5-8 years behind the curve.

Pros

My specific team and manager were great to work with. You can take free insurance classes to work towards designation. If you have a good manager they will help you get where you want to go in the company. Paycheck is nice for the Lansing Area.

Cons

This company is sexist and discriminative. If you are not a corporate robot you will never move up or be paid more. Especially if you're a woman. Beyond my manager, the company does not recognize hard work and makes it very hard for you to grow. This company is also very vindictive and not a good place for millennials if you're looking to get good experience in the insurance world.
