Auto-Owners Insurance reviews

The raises are 0-2% They do not pay according to the industry standard. We are so underpaid and undervalued Inflation is happening and they are not addressing it with a salary increase They are slow to get up to date in comparison to the competitors They harp on the fact that they are not a numbers based company to counter the fact that the compensation is horrible They try to validate the pay by stating that they provide us with a pension. Pension is not helping us live day . Some of us have to get a 2nd job just to survive Now they want us to come back in the office and gas is almost $4 a gallon We are going on strike in the Lakeland claims office at the end of this month If pay is not increased . We are tired of it. PUT A NUMBER ON HOW MUCH YOU VALUE US!

In my opinion the culture in claims is absolutely toxic. My impression was you are expected to do the work of 2 people (they brag about AO employees being twice as productive). The situation itself is stressful, and micromanagement and procedural redtape that changes constantly is moreso. One of the jokes in PIP was you become an alcoholic or take pills for depression...or both. You feel judged for taking sick time for yourself/family because you get talked to if you take more than the average, not even using all your time. I was vastly underpaid based on other companies, which, surprise, also have benefits. The lack of diversity is concerning and doesn't make sense given the demographics of the area. If you're looking for good work life balance do not do this role. Other roles are ok. The best choice is to take your great training to a role with a different company with higher pay and less work. They want extra hours and also ...watch your login times to the minute. I didn't have this level of oversight as a first grader. Management will comfort you with positivity instead of a transfer. If you're in, and it isn't for you, you have so many other options.
