Amica Insurance reviews

Must be mobile to promote; politics are horrible; promotions are based on mobility and popularity; laziness or lack of ethics in management is rewarded. I saw a few people get demoted or fired that were hard working while several people who shirked responsibilities or flat-out lied about things got promoted.

Compensation is not competitive. Raises based on performance are pitiful - you have to be promoted to receive any substantial increase. Promotions are less based on your work performance and more on who you know. This isn't coming from a bitter employee who was passed over, but is actually built into the system. The policies, heavy workload and lack of appropriate compensation work to break down motivation and create detractors in the workforce. New college graduates are hired several times a year to manage teams of people who have been working at Amica longer than the kids have been alive. Even if the kids are natural leaders, thats a recipe for intense dissatisfaction on your front lines. You cannot be promoted to management level if you aren't willing (or able) to move, regardless of your performance and experience. Amica demands a ridiculous level of personal sacrifice for mediocre compensation.
