No Work Life Balance

Pros

Competitive salaries, work from home is available.

Cons

There is no work life balance. Management continues to select dates for projects with minimal input from workers. From the moment the date is set it is all a task driven project. There is no planning for any issues that could and do happen. The plan is if there are 24 hours in a day, you can work 24 hours.

Pros

Selective has very good products, knowledgeable people, a good agency plant and many long-term employees. The bonus plans make total compensation rewarding, but the goals are very difficult to meet. Without the bonus, if you are in a production role, the financial reward for the hours/effort that must be expended is not in balance with the requirements of the position. Flexible working environment (ability to work remotely) is a major plus, but can also be a deterrent from feeling connected to others in the company and to knowing what is going on in the company in general.

Cons

Selective has extremely high work loads and goals for production with a large amount of home office oversight/personnel, report writing and little technical support and administrative help. The amount of data is overwhelming, difficult to find and to interpret. Communication from home office to field is poor at times. Many managers have been with company for many years (and with Selective only) and are not open to thinking that there may be a alternate and/or better ways to do things and they are not very inclusive to outsiders who are not long-term Selective employees.
