Pros

Auto-Owners is a great place to get your foot in the door of the insurance industry and gain experience. Good training and continuing education opportunities.

Cons

The pay is consistently under market value for every position. The salaries are grossly low compared to other companies. Many employees are leaving and getting $30-$40k salary raises on average, with a much more competitive benefits package. Profit sharing bonuses have not been obtained in last couple of years, which many people count on for total compensation. Moreover, the underwriting is nonexistent. Management is more concerned with task count and pleasing agents than the art of underwriting and maintaining profitability. The underwriting position has become more of a glorified customer service role.

Pros

Easy job to do if you’re halfway smart and actually try.

Cons

Low salary compared to other companies. Raise your concerns with this or anything else and management basically blackballs you for any opportunity for growth. You can do twice as much work as some of your co-workers and still get the same measly 3% annual raise. You’re better off coasting through the job rather than giving 100% effort. The harder you work, the more responsibilities they give you without any monetary compensation.
