Pros

They have a very good Benefit package, stability and strong financial outlook, no lay offs. Nice people everywhere you go.

Cons

Senior management have cult-like, 7th grade mentality. They can’t make decisions independently for their respective divisions, but have to ask each other’s permission. This means that there is neither ownership nor accountability, and people who don’t have the appropriate depth of knowledge are making decisions based on wims 20 year old experiences, (they all started at the bottom and worked their way up) and outdated assumptions. Very clique-y- you are either in, or you’re not. Middle management are pawns and work horses and are largely order takers with now authority to empower their employees because of the micromanagement which starts at the top and is condoned and enforced all the way down. I would not recommend this company for a long term career, but more for a resume development step.

Pros

Amazing people. Amazing atmosphere. Amazing milieu. I love my internship and i am getting paid pretty well for an intern.

Cons

I am in claims so it is pretty redundant in tasks even though no claim is the same.

Pros

There is a lot left to be desired, the primary "Pro" would be co- workers

Cons

In my opinion, AO is short sighted and concerned only for the higher ups. Departments are forced to be silo-ed and have built a culture that even walking into a another area of the same floor makes you feel out of place. Decisions are made from a top down perspective, meaning they are worried about their bottom dollar instead of what is in the best interest of everyone. The front line workers receive a low salary and a cap on profit sharing of 15% while managers get 2x that amount, with the higher you climb the bigger the bonus. Employees are seen as disposable and are treated as such.
