Pros
Market Influence - The Hartford is a reasonably large insurer on national and world stages. They offer a ton of opportunity to Insurance professionals. Even better opportunities for younger folks who are looking to gain a foothold in financial services, learn about the risk environment, and help develop business acumen.
Cons
Too many. I was an employee of The Hartford for a few, very successful years. My department was recently downsized as part of an effort to virtualize claim services. My position was at risk solely due to my tenure - nothing, I was told, was performance based. How ironic for a company that touts itself as a performance-based culture. I posted for other positions for which I was eminently qualified, only to be told by some executive leaders that my education, training, and experience were not “recent enough” (verbatim). Guess my college degree is worthless as well - I got it so long ago. Lovely. So glad I’m out.
