Pros

Hanover has a great, warm, and welcoming culture. The pay doesn't necessarily attract top talent, but the folks are nice. Work life balance is good.

Cons

Hanover is struggling to produce revenue. Leadership regularly sets revenue goals too optimistically and misses them. On a broader level, the company isn't innovating and can't decide how to evolve its value proposition to stay competitive in the rapidly evolving marketplace (do you want to specialize in specific industry verticals? Do you want to be more full service or DIY?). Because of this poor and risk-averse leadership, the company isn't doing well and isn't investing in the future. The low morale and low compensation directly impacts who is willing to work there longer term. Growth opportunities are very limited, sadly.
