Terrible decisions lately

Pros

Good pay, bonuses and great people to work with in my department.

Cons

The leadership team has just made one of the worst decisions they could have. If their goal is to destroy employee moral, they are on their way to perfection. There is a new policy that requires remote employees to return to the office if you are within 25 miles of one of their 7 locations they determined. This includes those who have been remote for years prior to covid. There are people that have been remote for decades and never stepped foot in the office, back in 3 days per week. Terrible decision that should be reversed. Health insurance which already was nothing special just got even worse for next year.

Pros

It is a job if you really need one. Any attorney who takes even an ounce of pride in their work and profession would not try to make a career in this company’s abusive and non-supportive work environment.

Cons

Narcissistic and unsupportive management. The company brags about its most profitable year ever in 2023, but significantly cut employee raises and bonuses. So many cases assigned to you that you could not even complete the absolute minimum work needed on each case to properly represent clients. Practically no paralegal or secretarial support — you have to do it all yourself if you want it done and work is you alone on your island. Claims adjusters are leaving in droves, carry up to 200 claim files each, and are justifiably miserable and many looking for other employment after bonuses are paid out. The Hartford does not care — they will hire inexperienced people for less money to the detriment of their insureds to pad the pockets of shareholders and management.

Pros

employees are always willing to go the extra mile

Cons

The Hartford just announced their 'Return to Office' Policy. This policy mandates, across the Enterprise, that any employee within 25 miles (of one of 7 offices) must return to that office on T, W, Th with no exceptions. In addition, they are using the 'straight line' method when calculating that 25 miles (in other words, as the crow flies) which is absolutely ridiculous. Last time I checked, I or my many affected co-workers aren't crows. They are not taking into consideration any of its long term remote employees either. Many employees have been classified as remote for many, many years. This DOES NOT matter to the Senior Leaders that made this decision. Many newer employees also accepted their jobs at HIG because of the remote work opportunities. Lots of talented employees will be looking for other work, and rightly so. The Hartford used to care about its employees; not any longer.
