a lot of promise initially not so much anymore
claim rep (Current Employee), Syracuse, NY – April 8, 2013
Pros: work/life balance
Cons: office politics, no growth
a lot of promise initially not so much anymore. hours and shift time stays the same, no nights or weekends, paid holidays. advancement seems more based on who your friends with than tenure or ability and knowledge.

Great People with Great Values
Claims Adjuster (Current Employee), Indianapolis, IN – April 3, 2013
Pros: people, benefits
Cons: workload (stress level), compensation, location
I spend about 90% of my day on the phone taking new claims which have been assigned to me, handling existing claims or communicating with body shops, vendors, and clients on general handling.

I have learned a great deal! Its been a solid marriage of my customer service skills coupled with new hard skills such as liability assessment and compliance. – more... The one area where the company is really lacking is initial and continued training. The current program in place is not effective.

Management is there for us to answer questions, and some facets of management much more than others. Again, they are kind and good people to work for but the ability to teach in many instances is simply not there.

The hardest part about the job is the volume and the hovering. We do the equivalent of at leas 2-3 people workloads and it can become taxing. It is important to do as much as possible in a file before closing out of it to avoid the back and forth and noting everything that has been accomplished.

The most enjoyable part of the job is the way we are treated. We are given great benefits and The Hartford respects the work/life balance I hold so dear. I love the people I work with for who they are and the job itself is satisfying to take people from a low point (post accident) and helping them see it through. – less

Fantastic Career
Senior Level Administrative Assistant (Former Employee), Simsbury, CT – March 27, 2013
Pros: coffee with my executives every morning, we had a starbucks cafe onsite!

Excellent place to begin and continue a career
Consultant, Complex Claims Group (Current Employee), Hartford, CT – March 24, 2013
Pros: flexible schedule, good pay and benefits, job security
Cons: stuffiness of the workplace, in-adaptability
The work environment is very conducive to getting your job down and with the right manager, of which I had, you are able to do your work the way you would like without a lot of oversight.

I was able to learn a lot while at this job, along with the basics learned at most jobs, this position allowed me to learn a lot about the business world. Things – more... that would not be learned in many other positions.

The hardest part of the job is how slow the corporation is to respond to change and the difficulty of adapting to the outdatedness of the technology. This may just be a product of the industry.

I really enjoy the larger accounts I handle, which gave me much insight into the operations of quite a few notable American corporations – less

Pros: benefits
Cons: confined work space
A typical day included taking numerous phone calls a day to assist our members with their insuance needs. This was a stressfull job yet also satisfying at the same time. You did have the ability to talk to many unique individuals each and every day yet get back the sense of comfort knowing that you were there to help them.

I became a licensed agent while working there.
The staff and management is both fair and honest with their team.
The most enjoyable part was probable the customers. Since it was inbound and in many cases competitive, people were happy to talk to you.
