Run away. DON'T consider working here!!!! - Anonymous employee Selective Insurance Employee Review

I have no idea where to begin with this place. It's one of the worst places to work on the planet. I was so excited to work at Selective when I first started because of all of the positive things I heard; sadly after almost 6+ years, I'm a former burnout employee who never wants to step back in an office environment because of how terrible this company treated me throughout the years. There is 0 work life balance to this place, no matter how much they will preach it during your interview and in internal emails, don't believe them. I swear, this employee base is brainwashed to think this is a "great place to work" because they need to lie to themselves to get through the day. Managers and senior leaders want employees to make Selective their entire life AND personality. With the employees that play the game of making Selective their entire life and personality, they are consider a favorite on a team and those individuals will get raises more frequently, bigger bonuses, and of course promotions like crazy. With the employees who have a hard boundary of work life balance are punished with more work, not enough credit, and always belittling. Also, the political game and backstabbing at Selective is one of the worst I have ever seen at any company. Oh also, as in most companies, HR will never protect you. Selective's HR department will not only NOT protect you, but they will throw you under the bus too! I know my review will not change the cultural at Selective, but I hope it will save some poor innocent soul considering this company to work at. TLDR: Do not work here if you want to have any sort of joy in your life. This place will drain your soul.
