Pros

The people we work with are by far the best quality of the company, and sometimes the only reason to go to work everyday. The base pay is okay, but compared to other competitors could definitely be better.

Cons

There are very few career advancement opportunities on the sales side, and as we've grown, there have become less. It is increasingly harder to stay motivated as goals constantly change, bonuses are consistently cut, or harder to achieve, and management is consistently asking for more. The culture used to be one that my friends in similar jobs at other companies were envious of, but it later became me being envious of them. As I said above, the friends you make at work are the best part of coming to Hanover, but the work itself is difficult and monotonous, and it becomes difficult to find motivation-especially when you typically face declining pay throughout your tenure.

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your time at Hanover as much towards the end of your tenure. It sounds like your experience as a new Associate was positive initially and that you left having made some good friends. There definitely were many changes this year on our revenue teams: we added a lot of new people, explored new territories and markets and tried out a few different incentive pay plans. Not everything we tried worked as we had anticipated but we have continued to make adjustments based on feedback from staff, managers and business need. We plan on focusing on improving the training and career development plan for new Associates so that they can build longer term careers at Hanover. We hope that this will add more variety to the role and alleviate some of the repetition in the daily tasks. We've added a few additional opportunities for employees to provide feedback to senior leadership so that we can remain responsive and nimble in an ever changing environment. Thank you for sharing your experience.
