The Hartford reviews

The local management seemed overall incompetent. It was very apparent that local senior management did not understand the needs of the employees. They did not know how to boost moral or keep good employees. I was there 5 months and in that time, over 20 employees left, I was the 21st. That is a LOT of turnover in a 60-70 person claims operation in a 5 month period. I heard that after I left, it did not get better - a lot more people have left or been "forced out." They do NOT pay competitively to the industry. WIth my experience and knowledge - they could not pay me comparable to what I was making at my prior company, due to it "not being fair" to other employees who were currently there. How do they expect to keep good talent by compromising pay? I did change companies due to personal issues that led me to Rancho Cordova, CA.

What I became the most frustrated with working for the Hartford is the lack of organization and specifying objectives when it comes to job descriptions. When I first began at the Hartford, I was told that after being there for a year people are usually promoted and that there was no formal process. The year after I started, they suddenly were coming up with a more defined process for promotion and since it was so "new" they weren't promoting people like they were before. The objectives are not defined any clearer than they were before and it is still up to the discretion of a bosses' boss.
