Pros

Ability to work remotely, somewhat competitive in salary.

Cons

High workloads plan on working minimum of 60 hours a week. Management does not recognize that this is a sweatshop and holds everyone’s feet to the fire regardless. Have had weeks where I had to put in 80 hours to keep my head above water. Health insurance plan worst I have experienced.

Great company.

Pros

The corporate culture at Selective is (in my opinion) one of the best I have ever experienced. Feedback is encouraged and while there is a traditional hierarchal approach to organizational structure, your opinion can easily be heard all the way up the ladder. Projects can come in droves and there is never a shortage of things to do but the work life balance is very good given the amount of work there potentially is. An on-site gym helps with work life balance as well as it's always a cinch to get a workout in each day.

Cons

The salary is not as competitive as one would hope. Part of this is a very slow process for promotion/raises. The health benefits pale in comparison to some other bigger companies. The location is also rather remote and can be difficult in winter months on one's vehicle.

Pros

Started as a good company with a lot of long term employees.

Cons

Expectation is to work lots of OT to keep up with workload. Salary EE don't have any additional compensation for working 60+ hours per week. Mgmt does not care, they just want the work done. Mgmt acts fake when Neale comes around to make it seem like everything is fine when it is not. A lot of people quit because they are burnt out. Benefits are horrible, they cost the EE lots of money from their paycheck then you get another big bill from the dr. office. The service center is full of limited jobs so once you reach a certain point, you are forced to leave for a promotion.
