Pros

Stable job with decent benefits. Good people to work with.

Cons

The culture breeds complacency because once you put your time in you will never get fired. No incentives to work harder than the person next to you because everyone gets a standard fixed raise unless you can pack up your family and move multiple times.

Pros

Nothing positive about this company. Treats employees like slaves.

Cons

Everything. If you work for AO, don't leave & then expect a second chance from them. I had to step away from my job with AO due to personal reasons, reasons which I couldn't control. I have applied to get back in with them, & they won't even consider me again. If I were in the boy's club, it wouldn't be a problem, but because I am not, I don't get a second chance. Thanks, Auto-Owners, for nothing. They push the whole diversity & inclusion issues, & it just gets to be too much. Most of my co-workers didn't waste their time on the lousy diversity & inclusion videos we were supposed to watch. What a joke.

Pros

The 7.5 hour work day means that you only have to work about 9 hours a day once you're on salary. The retirement benefits are good.

Cons

In many groups, women are told their apparel is unprofessional unless they are wearing skirts regularly. Christianity is the de-facto religion. Employees who are not Christians are treated differently as soon as word reaches their manager. Do not transition at this company if you are trans. They make public examples of their trans workers by name. Frequently. Do not work at this company if you have a medical condition. Workers are expected to take no more than 4 sick days per year. Workers on FMLA are treated badly and don't get promoted. Promotions only happen at managers' discretion, and usually only after the employee completes several certifications. Employees are expected to study for these certifications on their own time before they are considered for promotion. Discussing your salary here is considered a punishable offense by most managers. Employees who complete their promotion-granting certifications frequently don't get promoted based on nebulous critiques from their manager. Employees with ADHD or autism are never considered for promotion, and are given meager-to-no raises.
