Pros

They have flexible schedules and there is no expectation to work late and put in long hours. In fact, they push you out the door at the end of your shift to avoid paying overtime. Managers are nice and there is a sense of community. The facilities are also nice. The cafeteria is a big plus and the food service company is good.

Cons

Salaries are far below what competitors offer. Some departments have very poor training. In fact, they pretty much throw you into the job and let you figure it out as you go. Coworker competence is low. Work is stressful and there's plenty of it. There is not much opportunity to exercise independent judgement.

Pros

If you could sell benefit packages to large employers you would make excellent money. You would have to have excellent skill sets to accomplish the goals, but you would be rewarded nicely for the sales. The harder you worked, the more sales, the more money you would make.

Cons

There is a glass ceiling that is difficult to deal with. Women generally did not recieve equal pay or opportunity to go into sales management positions.

Pros

The Hartford is a very large company with potential for growth. As an external hire I was given a nice boost in pay from my last job which was significantly more stressful and demanding. Benefits are fine, they also offer some working at home arrangements. All in all the best job I have had since graduating from college.

Cons

In terms of culture it is kind of a bureaucratic corporate nightmare. Alot of ideas require a pilot program or some other nonsense. I have never had some many meetings in my life.
