Pros

Fair pay, PTO and stability

Cons

Forced everyone to come back to office 3 days per week despite amazing performance last year when all remote. Only real reason leadership can articulate is to preserve our “pixie dust” culture. If you look at the job postings almost all new jobs are open to remote but the people who have been here and contributed to success are forced to come in. #whatpixiedustcosts 6 hours a week away from my children so I can commute. Please please please consider if you’re willing to give up 40 minutes (20 min each way) of your day to parking garage madness (that they will charge you for!!!) and a lengthy walk before taking a job here. We all spend hours just complaining about it, it really takes a toll on you. The Hartford has free parking and better pay. 9 hours of water cooler chat this past week - - people showing up at your desk,walks to meetings, etc. so much sitting around and complaining. They want to take more money from you with constant updates to cafes and expect us to keep Hartfords economy afloat while even state workers get to work from home. Also always asking for us to contribute to fundraisers but don’t give raises that match inflation. I don’t even want to calculate how much it costs me in gas and parking. And we get to contribute to pollution!

Pros

We receive continuous training to stay up to date with new state regulations and market trends. My colleagues make the day go by quickly. The benefits are very reasonable. There is room for career growth if you know how to network. I appreciate their consistent push for community volunteer opportunities.

Cons

The personal lines department seems to be falling apart right now. Issues with the internal systems are resulting in underwriters doing multiple jobs and becoming a dumping ground for all agent issues even if they aren't underwriting related. I don't feel that the directors are truly expressing to the senior leadership team the impact that all these issues are having on the mental health and quality of life for the employees that are on the front lines trying to maintain a good reputation for the company. It's sad to see how quickly this department has gone downhill and the amount of quality underwriters that are jumping ship for different departments or different companies all together. What's even sadder it that no one with authority seems to care, or listen, when concerns are brought forth. I truly advise anyone considering applying for any position within the personal insurance department to hold off until things start to change - it's not worth the mental anguish that you'll experience.
