Constructive Feedback From American Family Insurance Employees

  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    Our suggestions are rarely implemented. Being paid for the overtime, we put in or additional claim load we are thrown based on ability. Promotional opportunities based on skill, and proven ability. Yearly wage increases that keeps up with cost of inflation. Supportive and functional mgmt.

    Company lacks role clarity in most areas

    Negative behaviors by coworkers is a direct result of leadership failures.
