Pros

- Pay is average for a recent graduate - Good benefits - 6% match on 401k from start date - Easy to request time off - Don't have to work hard - Opportunities if you drink the kool aid and play office politics - Additional training encouraged - Hanover will pay for AINS testing (INS 21, 22 & 23) and CBA training - Work week is under 40 hours - Visibility and opportunity to work with senior management

Cons

- Howell location - The office leans heavily to the right - Organization does not have much culture besides the political views - Lack of opportunities for college graduates (The Worcester location has more opportunity) - Heavy loads of "paper pushing" - Very boring, feels like you are working for 10 hours not 8 - You will be asked to work OT on worthless tasks - Lack of advanced degrees in senior management - Have to play politics and drink the kool aid to advance - Year end reviews lack constructive criticism - The AINS tests are worthless if you do not plan on staying in the insurance industry - Cafeteria lacks options and does not provide enough food (e.g. sandwich will only have one piece of ham, turkey, etc.)

Pros

Good pay, polite, and environment for advancement

Cons

Goals are very un reasonable. They will work you to death. Extremist left wing values are constantly in your face here. Straight and Christian hate are inter woven in all of their policies and speeches etc. As a life long Democrat I even find it distasteful and inappropriate.
