Pros

Annual bonus Working from home- -flexible hours (but long hours)

Cons

Poor work life balance (70 + hours a week). Working from home can be a pro and con. The con is the work is always there (weekends, vacation time, holidays). You are micro-managed. Tasks are assigned that are unnecessary to the file. Supervisors don't know their role. Supervisors feel they need to be adjusters as well as supervisors.

Pros

This position is undergoing significant changes, and I believe there are CMS roles in every state that Selective writes business in. I am sure it varies by state, because different supervisors oversee different regions. In my particular region, we were reporting to two supervisors. See cons. However, the pros to working here include no micromanagement and they trust you to get your work done. There is a lot of flexibility working from home. The benefits were ok (not the best I've seen but not the worst either). They are willing to pay for good adjusters and a company car, phone, and all the office equipment is included (beware of the amount taken out per check for the car). Coworkers care for the most part about each other and doing good work. There are some great people who work here in several departments, but if good talent is continuously overlooked, that good talent will go elsewhere.

Cons

Reporting to two supervisors was very stressful. I believe that is why they are changing this structure. Handling four lines of coverage is stressful as well if multi-line is not your area of expertise. Large territories, small authority numbers, a lot of 'checklist' type requirements, and antiquated systems make the job difficult.
