A typical day included assisting the administration with various research topics. I learned how to use various researching tools to acquire information. My coworkers and management were very pleasant and worked very well as a team. The hardest part of the job was leaving to go back to school and the most enjoyable part was being able to work in a friendly – more...  welcoming environment that helped me to learn more about how the company worked. – less

I have gained a wealth of knowledge in call center operations, entry level and advanced claims inlcuding first and third party property damage and third party injury claims.

This job requires a lot of training for very little pay and horrible benefits.

Great place to work. Meet alot of wonderful people and acquired great skills

Constant stress to complete large workloads, tight deadlines, working on your time and vacations is normal. There are learning opportunities but these are tied into your review and are no guarantee of advancement or a good review rating. Management is not your friend no matter what your upper 'Team Mates' say. My co-workers were the best. For years – more...  it was enjoyable to go to work, satisfaction with the job and interacting with everyone. Now the best part of of the job is anytime you are not there. – less

I can't speak for Hartford in general. I work at a remote location that is like a foster child to the big brother Hartford. Our office is on the brink of extinction.

I handled work comp claims up to 25k in value. Determined compensabilty, issued indemnity payment and handled litigated-lost time claims.

processing auto and home insurance paperwork for customers who did not want to call in to speak with someone regarding their request. I enjoyed training customer service representatives.

A typical day at work would be answering calls regarding the payment or non payment of workers compensation bills.

I feel that the most enjoyable part of the job was the recognition received for outstanding work. I all so feel that the company functions were very enjoyable. – less

Good Employer, management and environment. Flexible hours and work-life balance

My typical day at work is fast paced. It is very dependent on me having great production and turnaround time. I have learned a great deal about the Commercial Property, Auto and Workers Compensation lines of business. My co-workers are very helpful and often spend time with them out of work. The Hartford has a family feel to it. The hardest part of – more...  my job would be challenging tasks, which I tend to handle very well. There is nothing that I can't do or learn at The Hartford. The most enjoyable part of my job is making the customers happy whether it be a co-worker, agent or insured. – less

The Hartford was my first job in the corporate world. The company's HR at that time was awesome,very supportive ,ethical,and had an open door policy. They cared about the working enviroment, training etc.
I was treated very very, rudely by my trainers ,enough to be in tears,with the thought of quitting.
A Supervisor told HR I was in the restroom crying. – more...  HR said she hired me ,bc she knew I could do the job, and would not stand for me being unhappy at work! HR Mgr demanded I tell everything, added another worker in the Dept to oversee, how the trainers were doing . Report was given and they were reprimanded. HR MGR is now deceased as of 1-2 mos ago. I stayed with the company for 7yrs. – less

I learned quite a great deal about insurance and the financial services industry during my tenure at The Hartford. It is a great place to work with great managers and staff. There was a lot of opportunity for advancement and to experience other roles within the organization.

Working for the Hartford was a good experience. The location was good. Would like a chance at more oppournity they offer.

Supervisors don't like older employees don't want to waste time working with you if your not on the top of the sales team they will work to get rid of you.they discriminate against you. The top management doesn't care

Management does not have a clue and makes bad decisions constantly.

Former CEO pillaged the company, now retired. New CEO is great but the organization is plagued with ineptness - horrible pricing decisions, out of touch with the market place, endless bureaucracy, silo'd decision-making.
If you want a job, HIG is a fine place to be. If you want a career, you must be able to function in a dysfunctional world and be pretty – more...  good at shameless self-promotion.
Compensation has a huge "management discretion" component. That's code for either favoritism, manager perception, and/or non-objective assessment. – less

The company is focused on employee engagement. They are very expense focused as well

Good company to work for, values employees. Tends to struggle with rolling out new processes due to lack of technology. Downsizing over last 3 years with no rehire. Implemented remote work from home program to assist with work life balance.
