Pros
Great first job out of college due to the young and fun culture. You can move to a new city with no friends and have no concerns because you will make friends at Hanover. You will bond over your shared misery and stress. Frequent happy hours and social bonding outside of work to relieve said stress and continue to bond over your shared misery. Incentives for time off. There are some genuine good souls at Hanover who care about your success and will notice actions and skills you think go unnoticed. Easy to have faith in the product and see tangible results from the research done by the company. Certainly a character builder.
Cons
Growth is only in the sales sector. Low starting salary. Sales goals are not adjusted to reflect current market conditions except for around the holidays. Work/life balance is poor; it is frowned upon to leave on time and to take your full lunch hour if your performance is not up to par. High pressure environment which never ceases. Employees can be cliquey in an immature high school or college way. Your boss may or may not be interested in being a manager and likely has little to no training in managerial skills. A lot of employees have tunnel vision and do not realize there are opportunities to consider elsewhere.
