The Hartford – “Great Place to work if they like you”

Pros

Very good job stability, as there have been few layoffs and generally employees are treated well and given opportunites for promotion and development. The company has cut back on a lot of things recently and tends to treat employees that are not in home office like they would not understand the financial issue affecting The Hartford as evidenced by their poor communication to employeees.

Cons

Senior leaders of the company tend to keep people in the dark, particularly during the current financial crisis. No one is ever fired (except for recent layoffs) just made to feel unwelcome until they quit. Overall a good place to work though.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep your employees in the loop
