Unless you really need the job, look elsewhere for better options - Research Associate Hanover Research Employee Review

- "Research" often consists of googling open source information in the attempt to find obscure statistics or the inputs to create obscure statistics to meet the short term need of clients (lack of long term/strategic research opportunities) - Researchers are paid under the market rate (please check other glass door salaries to confirm this yourself) and receive no bonus/commission unlike the much of the non-researcher workforce - Heavy and repetitive workload consisting of googling and summarizing things you have googled into power point format (over, and over, and over again) - Lack of true growth opportunities (you may switch departments, but unless you come in with certain qualifications there is little opportunity for growth) - Expected unpaid overtime in order to keep clients/managers happy
