"I worked with The Hartford as a Small Commercial Intern. I highly recommend the company as my internship experience was very positive. The company offers a challenging yet welcoming environment suitable for any prospective employees in the Insurance industry."
"The Hartford is confused when it comes to specialty lines. They have put management in place that don’t know how to lead. Probably a great place to start your career and move on."
"It was a great company to work for until Covid."
"There are a lot of good people working at The Hartford, though there are some qualities of the insurance industry which people may find unappealing. This is not The Hartford's fault, and I enjoy the connections I made there."
"I am working the Hartford since 3 years"
"Many jobs have been outsourced and long time employees have been pushed out so they can be replaced by younger less expensive people. I was bullied and harassed by new management before they finally terminated me. They wouldn't even let me take my mother to a doctor when she was dying. At one point I was told I could not take lunch breaks, which is illegal. I was not allowed flex time or the ability to work from home. Everyone is paying for a poor general ledger as well. They rose one of my coworkers so hard his blood pressure went out of control and he was out for three months."
"I have worked for The Hartford for over 28 years. When I started at the company it was innovative in their products, their organization structure and in how they treated employees. I was able to grow my career and worked for excellent leaders. They were ethical in how they treated employees and poor performers and poor leaders were coached and their positions adjusted according to performance as opposed to a" bell curve" which is in use now. Over the past 5 years the company has taken away pension benefits, pension contributions, retirement medical benefits and many other employee focused programs. They have invested in their executives and their real estate and buildings. They have begun to use more and more sourcing partners driving more work offshore and away from employees. This has put an emotional strain on employees in addition to the fact that the company has downsized and at one point took TARP funds to stay afloat. This would be fine if the sourcing was achieving what was expected at the outset. It has not in all areas. The sourcing partners in many cases are not delivering what was expected and in many cases experienced employees are filling the gaps and having to manage the partners. Hiring practices are geared toward younger employees again putting a strain on experienced employees. It seems like the company is focused on dressing itself up for a sale and is running quarter to quarter in its decision making processes"
"I really enjoyed working with Hartford Life Insurance Company even though it was on a contract."
"Love it! Is a great place to work with great people. They really care about their employees and their families. They have a gym also on the second floor and you can get a discount on the health insurance. They have lots of parking and shuttles running all day long. Every so often the CEO will give a speech available to everyone telling about the state of the company via the intranet. They have a volunteer program in the community."
"I have worked for Hartford Financial Service Group for about a year and was promoted quickly through the ranks, but the culture and location of the workplace was a major burden for me emotionally."
"I worked for The Hartford for 27 years. The Hartford is a stable, conscientious company to work for. They pay well for those who are willing to sit up, take notice and go for opportunities around them. I only left because of attractive early retirement opportunities. I would make the same choice I made 27 years ago to work for them again as they are a great company."
"What makes The Hartford a great company are the employees. They are hard working and dedicated and they are allowed to do what they need to do to get the job done. Their loyalty and commitment is outstanding."
"The Hartford was a great company to work for. They are a fast paced environment with lots of opportunities for learning and advancing."
"Established American company with great traditions and spirit."
"I have 15 years proven sales, getting results and dealing with pressure, which I used daily in my job here at Hartford Personal Lines Insurance."
