Pros

-Good benefits (medical, dental, vision, vacation/sick time off, 401 match) -Technology vastly improved by the time I left -never felt micro-managed -flexible time off for appointments, etc.

Cons

-bonuses/raises were very subjective. If the boss liked you, you got one. -incompetent management with no underwriting experience or knowledge; management that liked to gossip -outsourcing to India contributed to layoffs -no working from home -lack of communication from home office and between departments with vital info that needed to be shared -salary for long-timers vs newly hired college graduates

Pros

Hanover is a great company that provides you with a wealth of opportunities to realize your full potential.

Cons

The location in Worcester is very boring as well as the people there. Recommended for people over 40.

Pros

The people are great, for the most part. Proactivity is encouraged.

Cons

Lots of corporate politics! Some of the people have been with the company for over 20 years and have way too much influence for their level. I've seen others passed over for promotion because they weren't socializing with the right people.
