Selective Insurance reviews about "training"

Workload doesn’t seem to be evenly distributed some days.

they give you tons of vacation but youre screwed if you try to take it because they are so understaffed all the time that nobody will touch your work and youll come back wishing you never bothered. they dont pay you for what you dont use either. better be a self starter because forget training too. figure it out or get out mentality. 60 hours plus with standard staffing. if the team is short kiss all your weekends goodbye. they talk about changing but after 10 years its gotten worse not better.

Very spotty reputation amongst agents in certain areas. Impossible goals to achieve. Management team is dishonest to employees and agents and is out of touch on many things. Knee jerk decisions are driven simply by the stock performance. Do not consider this place if you want a career in insurance. There are so many better choices out there with long term opportunities for professional growth.

No real cons to working here.

No growth potential. Company seems to have a lot to offer as far as development of employees goes, but then there are no jobs to move into. I would have stayed at the company if there were more opportunities to me to move up.

Upper management loves to micromanage their employees, there are a ton of meetings that take up time, unrealistic expectations on claim loads, the staff is very overworked and under appreciated, they are rewarded for the work they can do by being put on performance plans, work life balance is non-existent.

Long hours expected, not enough training supplied it is available for you to do on tour own but there are so many hours in the day. They tell you to keep a balance between work and family but this is very hard to accomplish.

Management is disconnected from day to day activities and workload on employees. There is no work life balance. Training program is almost non existent, not fluid.

The office is cliquey, and training is a joke. There is a lot to learn with three days of training, that was sped through, and everyone seemed to be confused as to why you didn't know anything when you asked questions. It's a cut throat office. The manager has no idea what his employees are up to. It was unorganized. It was the worst job I ever stepped into. I would not work here. It was a waste of time. Very stressful.
