Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Hagerty's ethical standing is mixed. While named a Fortune Best Workplace in Financial Services and Insurance for four consecutive years (through 2022), with 91% of employees reportedly finding it a great place to work, Glassdoor reviews raise concerns. Compensation and benefits are rated 3.1/5 due to low pay complaints, and senior management 2.8/5, with critics citing poor communication. Reports also allege unfair treatment and summary terminations. Environmentally, Hagerty's business supports less fuel-efficient classic vehicles. However, it launched an Enthusiast Carbon Offset Program (ECO) in 2022, using reforestation to offset emissions from its fleet and events. Overall emissions data remains undisclosed.
