John Hancock Life Insurance

All I can say about this company is that they don't know their right hand from their left. Out of 5 different people I dealt with only ONE seemed to kinda know what they were talking about. A supervisor, I won't mention HER name, was completely RUDE, how she became a supervisor is beyond me. I would not trust them with $.03 let alone some of the amounts they are "managing." If you are a company looking to utilize these guys I would think twice. They will cause nothing but headaches for your employees.

Not very responsive on customer service, have had to make repeated requests over the years to have corrections made. I have a Whole life policy that is paid up and don't need any additional coverage.

Please do not purchase anything from them! My grandmother who raised 5 orphans had this policy for more than 30 years. She had just passed away Nov 22 2020. Today is the 31st of Dec. And still no payment. They are still currently giving my other sibling issues on payments as well. It took 14 days for a claims rep to call one of us. Now they are closed for the holiday and have to wait. I wonder if they ever screwed over a life insurer before. I am going to the Bank Of Finacial Insurance and beg that this company be Audited.

They don't do anything for you. I transferred my policy from a group plan to personal and the only time you hear from them is when they have to send their compliance documents. To me, as a person who is getting older, your life insurance broker, should be providing additional guidance. Make sure that everything is "tidy" in case of or when a person dies.

Changed denial reason (7 months later) after I proved they were incorrect with supporting documentation. For the last 7 months, John Hancock who sends their claims to Seven Corners has denied me because they believed I claimed items that they thought had been returned to Amazon. After 3 reviews where they didn’t look at my supporting documents, 2 independent investigations through G4S and Optima, 3 way phone calls with Amazon, and hours adding additional information on each and every item they believed was returned (40 items-took 10 hours to prepare). Then sending an additional 72 pages of proof on top of the original 90 they’ve had on day one..... They just changed their denial reason. Simple as that!

This company needs to be investigated and audited. My grandparents had a joint retirement account. When my grandfather passed away in 2012 my grandmother called to report his death and update beneficiaries. She was instructed to complete a TOD form which she did and sent back. A few weeks later she was sent another form because the old form was not according to their policies and needed to be notarized. She completed this form and had a notary signature and mailed back in their postage paid envelope.

I cashed out my 401K. According to what I have been told (by customer service reps). They tell me 7-10 business days to mail. Today is day 9 and no check. Coming from Buffalo NY should take 3 - 5 days.

Incompetent Company and Employees. My dad made on-time payments to John Hancock Life Insurance Company for YEARS. Upon his passing in May 2020, we contacted John Hancock Life Insurance by phone. They emailed us a claim form and told us what necessary documents they needed to process the claim. Told us it would take 10 business days to process the claim then funds would be distributed. Here it is now July 6th and we haven’t received ANYTHING BUT THE RUN-AROUND! We have called and called and called. Each time we call they say the same thing... They don’t see any updates and will call us tomorrow with an update; which they never do. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, John Hancock’s employees are incompetent and the company is a JOKE! If I ran my business this way I wouldn’t have a business. I want this resolved immediately, if not sooner! This is unacceptable and inexcusable.

Our company switched to John Hancock many years ago. 4 1/2 years ago I took a 401K loan. When I received the amortization schedule from them it was obviously wrong and would not pay off the loan in the 5 year payback schedule. I contacted JH and they told me I was wrong. Well 4 years later they say, "Oh, the payback schedule is wrong and I now need to double up on the payments or make payments on their website in order to not be penalized." I made one payment on their web site and am unable to make any more due to their website "glitch" as they call it. This has been going on for 3 months. So John Hancock is an investment company that is unable to calculate a simple amortization schedule or maintain a functioning website.

My employer switched to John Hancock about two years ago and it is the worst brokerage I have ever dealt with. Awful phone support, unintuitive browser, an app that barely functions, and somehow, it breaks, or fails to sync with, every budgeting tool out there. Once you do log-in, it's very hard to find information about your investments - it's as if they don't want to give you visibility of your own money. I actually like my employer but the fact that they chose John Hancock for retirement benefits is a huge negative. Avoid this brokerage - if you are looking for a plan provider for a company, do the employees a solid and choose literally any other bank.
