The Hanover Insurance Group reviews

Entry level actuarial employees are completely overworked and expected to have advanced programming/data skills, all while making slightly more than a manager at Mcdonald's restaurant.

The volume of work is astronomical, and the expectations are high - every item is broken down into “service levels”, if you miss the service level by 30 seconds it is late. You are graded every month on your service level performance. Phones auto answer, you don’t have the option to dismiss a call and call someone back, it’s like working in a call center - which is NOT the job description they give you when you’re hired, so make sure to ask about it during your interview. They monitor everything, listen to your calls, ask where you are if you’ve stepped away for longer than 4 minutes. You don’t get breaks, the hours are not flexible even if you are salary, and people work nights and weekends to try to keep up with the workload and are not paid to do so. There just isn’t enough staff. If you value freedom to manage your desk and your work and tend your own garden, this isn’t the right company for you. That doesn’t mean it is a bad place to work, but it’s very micro-management oriented.
