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 (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

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.
