Vantaggi
I have been at Hanover for over a year, sharing in the highs of the company growth in 2019 along with the uncertainty of the lows during the height of COVID. This team has been nothing but supportive in regards to nurturing talent and enabling me to grow professionally, but I can't say that was a given- It had to be earned and you need to ensure your growth goals are in alignment with the rest of the company. What I'm saying is, this company will give you endless opportunities, but you need to reciprocate and give results in return, or communicate the roadblocks that prohibit your success. Personally, I have nothing but positive things to say about that mindset. Further, the sales training at Hanover is renowned and phenomenal, so if you're looking for an extremely consistent and high-performing sales environment Hanover is the place for you. I had no formal sales experience prior to joining Hanover and I've been able to refine my skills in an advanced manner during my time here. I'm short of 2 years at the company and have been granted 2 internal promotions. I think it's also important to highlight the support I've received from management throughout the pandemic. This runs the gamut from regular virtual check-ins with my manager, support related to the emotional complications/stressors accompanying the pandemic (both professional and personal matters), all the way to updates and company visibility with a monthly townhall session led by the CEO. For context, those used to only occur on a yearly basis prior to the pandemic. I'm grateful to have the support system at Hanover that has helped me develop professionally throughout the highs and lows of the sales environment during my time here. I'm giving 4/5 because I feel there is always room for improvement, but I am excited to contribute to that growth along with the rest of the firm throughout the duration of my tenure.
Svantaggi
On occasion, some of the manager's goals arent necessarily aligned with one another or in the best interest of the broader team, but I haven't experienced an instance where that wasn't resolved upon refining a solution.
