The Hanover Insurance Group reviews

The company is extremely silo'd, with difficulty getting out of its own way to accomplish goals. Some groups are far better than others to be a part of with better culture and work life balance. Projects are often rushed, features or corners cut to maintain the deadlines at all costs. Lots of wasted effort or lack of utilization of an employee's skills because of internal red tape, especially sharing technology between groups internally. Politics are also deep-rooted. Goals and priorities for individual employees can be hijacked by other departments leaving that person with a losing proposition of failing the wishes of either the direct manager or the "other" manager. Some employees have been at Hanover for 30-40 years. They are not open to change or new ideas in many cases, despite hiring new folks for "fresh perspective". As those fresh perspectives are silenced, those new folks tend to turnover quickly, with many departments struggling to keep people for more than 2 years.

*favoritism is the way that promotions are awarded, jobs are not even posted no opportunity to apply for them and positions are made for the friends of the management team *management team lacks experience in the industry and they are not interested in expanding knowledge or making actual business relationships with important partners *branch management is inexperienced and shows no interest in certain divisions of the company *they will hire SOME talented individuals with a lot of experience but don't give them enough support or backing to truly get the job done.
