      Pros

      Good learning opportunities and opportunities for rotations, etc. One gets to work alongside highly motivated and very intelligent employees. Most people are happy to be working there. The Hartford is a good corporate citizen, and it's easy to feel propud of the work they are doing for the community.

      Cons

      Very competitive for promotions and politics permeates the work environment. This can lead to bad feelings among staff. There is a good deal of awareness (too much?) against the company down the street. Sometimes the best and brightest aren't the best "natural" managers. The company is possessive of its successful franchises, but can be slow to respond in the marketplace. They appear to be less innovative than other companies.

      Pros

      It beats starvation and homelessness.

      Cons

      No meaningful opportunity for advancement unless you were brought in already on a fast track, or are entering from a competitor. Internal growth and advancement is very rare and personal development is not supported by management. Atmosphere is ripe with suspicion and an overall lack of concern with the morale of employees. Lip service is often paid to having a develop oriented personnel program, but this goal to the extent it exists is generally negated by management. Middle management tends to be redundant and consequentially fiercely overprotective of their little fiefdoms, which again acts as significant impediment to training opportunities or exposure to new development tasks.
