Hastings Insurance Reviews

Upper management is always hired from outside the company. if you want to work your way to the top forget it. Frequently VP's are hired in from other companies where they were let go, going to be let go or being moved out. HMI is their last choice and they will take a pay cut to have a job. If you want to get rich this isn't the place. Extremely conservative company. On the day you retire all you get is a handshake. You are not paid enough to raise a family AND fund your retirement account, especially if you suffer a market crash along the way. Women still have a glass ceiling. Equal pay for equal pay is nonexistent. Women maybe 20% or more below?

Complete lack of direction from executive team. Executives are heavy in management but light in leadership experience, so they micromanage everything. Complete inability to execute on any projects; partly due to an inept IT department and partly due to executive management's extreme fear of progressive change. Management team is very risk averse, partly because they don't understand the difference between individual risk and collective risk.
