Not worth the stress - Business Development Hanover Research Employee Review

The tragedy of Hanover is that it is full of bright, talented people who have been beaten down to believe they can't do better. It's simply not true. You are valuable, you are wanted, it's a strong job market, and you will find a better place that values your contribution and treats you like a human being. The grass really is greener on the other side if you're willing to leave the pasture (quitting Hanover substantially lowered my blood pressure, increased my base salary 40%, and reduced my work week from 70-80 hour 40-50 hours). 1. Unscrupulous, unethical leadership - It's ok to make money. It's not ok to misplace compensation agreements, forget paychecks, or pay in the wrong amount. It's ok to protect your business. It's not ok to bully ex employees and their new employers. It shouldn't be normal to see your coworkers in tears. 2. Business model -The business model is such that no matter how hard you work to please a client, Hanover will not make more money. This leads to broken hearts when employees go the extra mile for rewards that will never come. 3. Culture of Fear - Because client satisfaction doesn't lead to more revenue, Hanover uses convoluted grading systems, titles, and performance reviews to keep employees engaged and distracted from below market salaries. There is a constant threat, especially in sales, of losing your job. Those who question the culture or management decisions are shown the door.
