      Pros

      The Hartford is a great company to work for. Their benefits are truly some of the best I’ve ever seen. They do a great job in training and preparing their employees for their front-line roles. Management is generally great across the call center, of course there are always some outliers.

      Cons

      It’s a very thankless job. You’re working in a stressful environment, held to high expectations for sales KPI’s with little to no reward or incentive to maintain your numbers.
