"Innovation and Claims Grit is Rewarded"
StarStarStarStarStarRecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at The Hartford full-time
Pros
You will have the opportunity to grow your career if you can demonstrate the ability to lead, communicate, have a team and customer focus mentality and be able to solve problems and innovate. Gaining lateral experience in different roles and lines of business is very important. If you do an excellent job at your role you will be rewarded with extra projects and responsibilities. Ultimately you own your career development and will have monthly coaching and feedback conversations with your supervisor.
Cons
Change and innovation is constant so you have to very adaptable. I don't think it's a con but you need the ability to be open to change.

"Great environment, not so great pay"
StarStarStarStarStar- Work/Life Balance
- Culture & Values

- Senior Management
RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at The Hartford full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
The working environment at The Hartford is the best I've ever experienced. It's a true team culture which also provides support for learning opportunities
Cons
Annual pay and bonus structure are lower than comparable roles in the industry
Advice to Management
Offer better pay structure. The tier system is not fair to talent, as individuals can be at the top of their bracket and still not be sufficiently paid for their work. For the more than a decade I've been with HIG, this has consistently been a leading cause for attrition.
