Pros

Pros - They are now a FORMER employer, nice landscaping, good commute for me

Cons

- Micro Managed - Kept in line through daily fear tactics and repression. Management will watch you work and keep you in line down the minute. Yes, I said to the minute. - No advancement opportunities, they do NOT promote from within. - High turnover, so if they lose people they don't care, the next suckers are lining up - Problems come from management culture so that is unlikely to change unless management is booted as they should be - Treated like children - Technology is choppy and out of date, but same expectations apply whether systems are working or not - Overall, dont get into this company...I was so happy to get out...and I've worked in some bad jobs...landscaping, retail...this one takes the cake! - Probably more but I have already spent too much time on this... :)

Pros

The good news is you pretty much know when your job is ending so you can plan ahead. This is a boiler room operation but without sweat equity.

Cons

Unable to provide feedback on management and un-willing to listen. A hug violator of state rates and filings.

Pros

Good benefits, competitive salary, strong company financials. Good people for the most part. Local management is above average. Company focus on property/casualty is strong and enhances the brand.

Cons

Management increasingly devalues employee contributions. Crushing workloads. Very little appreciation for contributions and successes. The work environment has significantly eroded over the past several years as an influx of former Hartford Insurance Company executives and employees has changed the culture.
