Selective Insurance reviews

Hired from another insurance company with promises of being able to bring new ideas and processes to the table. However, on day 1 was told to leave those things at the door. Never fully accepted as one of the team and still considered "Not Selective" after four years. Work/Life balance was touted by upper management, but direct supervisor was opposed to any level flexibility. Hours are 8 - 4, but leaving at 4 branded you a slacker or not busy enough. Work from home days were actively discouraged at all levels of management. Average work week was 60+ hours, with no recognition or appreciation of that time. HR was a joke, protecting the "lifers" and helping promote a hostile work environment. Salary and bonuses were significantly less than competitor pay packages.

It is a typical 8-5 job and there is not a very lively atmosphere. It is also an older company w not much change in technology
