Pros

The people I worked with, benefits were good, but they should be, they are an ins company!

Cons

Everything else,management throws you under the bus & turns on you if they want you out, nags, and is inconsistent, not very knowledgeable if you need help, and gives you the run around. Very controlling. All are overweight and work-obsessed. Never satisfied with anything. Liars and very sketchy about everything. Worst company I have ever worked for! If you want to work at the "Twilight Zone," go there! Psychos! Recovery time from working here = going to take a bit. They seriously must have invested a great deal of $$$ in finding out how to control people and manipulate. Core Values? Nice Front!! The founder is probably rolling in his grave!!!!! A certain female MVP has a rep for being a "difficult person." From both employees & agencies & management. Had to quit.

Pros

Looks good on your resume to say you worked for fortune 500 company

Cons

At A-O it does not matter how you perform rather, it's how influence peddlers think you perform. No management by objectives at A-O. Without profit centers, budgets and measurements that are objective good people are subjected below par recognition and rewards. A very small middle-aged professional class at A-O. If you are not tapped for an officer level position their is little other path to career fulfillment and a professional level of compensation. Especially tough on people who move to Lansing and only later discover both their economic status and career options are both in deep peril.

Pros

Auto-Owners is still one of the few companies to provide employee pensions and the medical benefits package is better than average. Additionally, they offer a great relocation package and there are plenty of opportunities to relocate around the country. The company also pays for insurance-related classes and provides bonuses for completion of a large number of series of courses.

Cons

Base salary is below-average and the workload can be excessive at times. Be careful of who you upset because memories die hard.
