Pros
I was at The Hartford for about 4 years. I had a wonder experience and learned so much. The people I worked with everyday were truly wonderful and intelligent. The only reason I left was because I was relocating for personal reasons.
Cons
Time to make decisions can be lengthy.

The people seem to be nice.
Cons
They have too many time tracking systems, pay is not competitive when compared to other insurance companies, very micro managed with punching in/out for breaks/lunches.
Advice to Management
Allow more latitude when it comes to the time tracking systems

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at The Hartford full-time
Pros
Good, hardworking people on the sales floor
Cons
Compensation plan is horrible. Almost 40% of sales agents not getting paid for policies sold. Only a very, very few make decent bonus on policies sold. Very possible for agents to sell 50+ and only get $150 in commision, possible to get none even with high sales.
Advice to Management
Dump the current plan and come up with something better....FAST

Pros
The insurance had gone downhill for a few years now. They made very huge changes without consulting the employees. The departments are overworked and their production trackers have turned into hardcore micro management.
Cons
The have amazing employee resource groups and the HSA is actually pretty good.
