Yeah that makes sense. I would think with a 30% discount, and some 7000 employees H-21 would be over full. but it makes more sense that it is not advertised because they would prefer full paying renters.

Welcome to the board Hboy

and how bad is it over at Aenta? I have a job search coming up and was thinking about giving some of the big insurance companies a shot at me.

Why thank you VoR!

Actually, I like my job just fine even if it's not exactly what I want to be doing. Morale in the company really depends on what department you're in. I'm in expat benefits and since that market is growing, I feel safe about my job (phew!). You do see some gloomy faces though, and sometimes you feel like you're in a time warp. You know, some people never got around to changing their look since 1985. Big hair and big shoulder pads. Yikes!

ok, so I actually went in and looked around and the place is truely amazing!

I did confirm the rumor of the 30% Aetna discount. It is true; however, it is offered to Aetna employees because Aetna is a major investor/stakeholder in Northland group. Northland also offers a 20% discount to employees of whoever occupies their Trumbull street building.

So, with this discount it makes the rooms very attractive; however, there's a wait list for 5 deep for the upper end 1 bedroom and probably about 10 on the lower end 1-bedroom. A few 2 bedrooms are available, but I understand they are going fast.

This 30% discount has not been communicated to Aetna employees as of yet - I know because I'm one of them! I think it's a great idea though even if it does draw some eye rolling from the sullen people who walk our halls.
