Our Association uses the Evaluation feature in Arbiter.
We get reminders not to forget to rate officials for games. Criteria on what is evaluated is decided by the Association - I'm not necessarily a fan of our criteria groupings, but, it seems to work ok.
As an official, after score are tallied, you can see your running total and evaluation score averages, and even comments made by other officials. While it is anonymous, if used properly, and directly after each game, you know what the other members of the crew rated you.
Comments are helpful if used as intended.
Personally, while not everyone rates on the same scale, I find it to be a pretty good indicator of areas I need to improve on and a good indicator of how the game went.
You still can't eliminate cronyism and the good ole boy system though.
Bottom Line - we used to have nothing, and this is better!
