Pros

The Benefits and Pay were good.

Cons

The benefits and pay are not worth the stress with this job. Management lacks help, you have teammates that can help, but when you need upper management to help they lack that because they are always busy. They throw so many claims at you and you expect you to know everything right from the start. When you have a claim, the company has a specific process of handling the them, but don’t tell you until something happens or later down the line of something you should know. They give so much extra tasks for a claims adjuster to do that is so barbaric, mean while you’re still suppose to do your work. The Company initiates too much stress. If you don’t have stress, you will have it in this job. I should have listened to the reviews here prior to joining. If you are outside of claims, I don’t know the stress of that, I just know this line of business.

Pros

Hybrid work schedule, decent healthcare coverage and pay

Cons

I have no idea where to begin with this place. It's one of the worst places to work on the planet. I was so excited to work at Selective when I first started because of all of the positive things I heard; sadly after almost 6+ years, I'm a former burnout employee who never wants to step back in an office environment because of how terrible this company treated me throughout the years. There is 0 work life balance to this place, no matter how much they will preach it during your interview and in internal emails, don't believe them. I swear, this employee base is brainwashed to think this is a "great place to work" because they need to lie to themselves to get through the day. Managers and senior leaders want employees to make Selective their entire life AND personality. With the employees that play the game of making Selective their entire life and personality, they are consider a favorite on a team and those individuals will get raises more frequently, bigger bonuses, and of course promotions like crazy. With the employees who have a hard boundary of work life balance are punished with more work, not enough credit, and always belittling. Also, the political game and backstabbing at Selective is one of the worst I have ever seen at any company. Oh also, as in most companies, HR will never protect you. Selective's HR department will not only NOT protect you, but they will throw you under the bus too! I know my review will not change the cultural at Selective, but I hope it will save some poor innocent soul considering this company to work at. TLDR: Do not work here if you want to have any sort of joy in your life. This place will drain your soul.
