Selective Insurance reviews

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.

Workload is untenable. Most managers are very unprofessional and disrespectful of their staff; treating them like lower class citizens. An overwhelming majority of people live locally, have known each other all their lives, and have never worked anywhere else. In addition, many of their spouses and family members also work there. This seems to fuel the formation of clicks, unequal treatment of employees, and disparate salaries and career development. What's more, there is no comprehension or appreciation for how other organizations do things, so a diverse view or dissenting opinion gets one targeted and treated as a troublemaker.
