Pros
• Decent PTO, especially to start, but this is likely fairly common in the industry. • Ability to gain some training / experience and move on to a better employer. • 10 free mental health sessions per year - you're going to need them. • Your experience might be better in a profitable segment of the company, such as Commercial, but the company generally has some pretty deep cultural flaws as noted below.
Cons
• Executive leadership borders on cartoon villainy. Their commitment to DEI is laughable, and there can be no doubt they care not about the minions operating the money machine. • Middle management is inept and serves only to toe the line from said villains above, do not expect support of any kind. There are a lot of long timers / legacy staff that fumbled their way into these positions and cling onto them despite being completely unqualified; micromanagement, manipulation/gaslighting and passive aggression is common. • Compensation is poor and workloads are unmanageable. The Hartford's mantra is generally "do more with less", which basically means you will do the work of 2-3 people because those people were laid off or left and won't be replaced. • Perhaps because of the issues noted above, you will interact with bitter and angry people who are not pleasant to work with and make the job more of a slog than it needs to be. It's a fairly dog eat dog environment where people are only interested in how you can further their own goals and ambition. Work here at your own risk.
