      Pros

      They give you a good amount of paid time off, BUT.....

      Cons

      They give you a hard time when you want or need to take time off(although you have plenty of it to use). Its a constant revolving door,turnover is constant..I had 9 managers in 6 yrs due to company downsizing or re-aligning, most of them coming in with no sales or phone sales experience.It is who you know,not what you do. Never worked in such a negative/toxic situation, constant up set with poor management and the computer systems were so broke that their IT dept. had no solutions.Due to turnover the phones were so busy you couldn't breath,and big brother was watching everymove,writing you up for everything. Worked there 6 plus yrs until I could no longer stand the stress.

      Pros

      Um… let me think of one or two because there aren’t many… Decent starting PAY. Remote work available.

      Cons

      •Managers that are so ancient, they could’ve founded the Hartford. (the Hartford was founded in the 1800s) Hypercritical, constant write ups on issues that weren’t previously disclosed to a newer agent, e.g., Company provided headsets are cheap and way too small. Wearing quality wireless headsets, worth five times the company provided ones, a terminable offense. They install moles in their training classes. They track every single key stroke. They set you up to fail. Then they get a tax credit for it. Brilliant work, guys.

      Micromanaged, Undervalued, and Declining Culture

      Pros

      Benefits; coworkers are some of the nicest people in the business. The training for the roles and their technology is second to none. Great 401k. Hybrid work from home

      Cons

      This company went sharply downhill for a multitude of reasons starting in 2023. The constant micro-managing makes you feel watched and paranoid the entire time you’re there. In addition, management favors performers or tenured employees who know The Hartford way, despite the quality of work is borderline unethical (so much for the World’s Most Ethical Company BS). Their DEI polices segregate hard working and productive employees over diversity and they are given promotions over those metrics despite dismal KPIs. Their internal interviews for promotion are a joke as positions are predetermined. Tenured sales underwriters are leaving for much better opportunities and more pay. The Hartford’s salary structure is a complete joke for the industry despite their recent success. Nepotism galore!! Run away and do not turn back.
