The Hanover Insurance Group Reviews

Pros

You can make your own way here. Coworkers are the best. I’ve worked here 14 years and the company has treated me well in pay, benefits and opportunity. They are progressive and embrace all ways to continue to improve.

Advice to Management

Jack Roche is a talented leader who should have been Fred’s successor. The short time in between damaged our culture. So grateful we again have a leader who not only holds the bar high but leads by example and values the employees.

Advice to Management

I've been with the company for about 5 years now. Things were great when Fred Eppinger was President and CEO. His replacement began the downward spiral of this company. We have since had 2 new Presidents and CEOs within a 16 month span. With the shift in leadership, moral is at an all-time low.

The company is now very frugal and has become all numbers driven with no common-sense or reasonable logic. Merit increases and bonuses are becoming very small. Workflow and corporate organization is now very chaotic. The people who work at the Howell hub are all very nervous and rumors are spreading like wildfire. I no longer have a good outlook for my future with this company... It is hard to stay motivated to work for a company when upper-management no longer cares about you...

Please let the field staff have in-person meetings! My team has not met face-to-face in nearly 2 years! How is this good for career development? I've always enjoyed having productive and recreational conversations with my co-workers. I'm the type of person who learns from other people's mistakes. Hanover used to be very generous with company outings and recreational activities. This has all come to a crashing halt! It is very difficult to blow-off steam or have a good time with my co-workers. I feel like I have no relationship with my co-workers anymore...

Pros

This company truly cares about its employees. They are adapting to new technology and changes to the industry. The benefits are great and PTO is higher than the industry average. The organizational structure makes it very easy to get to know people that are higher than you (ex: VPs). Many opportunities for exposure. The work life balance is also great. For the most part, everyone works a standard day (9-5), with the occasional overtime or weekend work. There is also flexibility around working from home.

Pros

Great benefits, the company takes care of employees
