What are some insights into the strategy or vision at The Hanover Company?
Pros
Hanover makes work seem like anything but. I truly love coming to work every day and enjoy everyone I work with. The culture is that of family and honesty. Everyone that works for Hanover is friendly, intelligent and honest. Everyone has everyone else's best interest at heart. There is no place better to work and I hope that I retire as a Hanover employee.
Cons
Every company has its short comings but there is nothing major that sticks out to me as a con. The company is ever evolving and growing so communication can be sparse at times.
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you're doing.

Advice to Management
Treat your employees better, bottom line. I expect a Houston based company to act as so. Houstonians are caring, giving and thoughtful. This company does not embody a true Texan spirit. A quick lunch with the owner and a power point slide show stating how good our medical benefits are doesn't cut it. Not sure how this company is ranked top 6 places to work in Houston.
No pay raises
