Pros

I enjoyed my time at selective and thought the management team was very good and helpful in my career development.

Cons

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

Pros

Close to home. Flexible schedule. Familiar faces. Every department is not alike. You just need to find the good ones

Cons

To many "chiefs" not enough "indians". Management wants feedback but when you give feedback you are labeled. A lot of managers and supervisors, since they are promoted from within, forget they used to be at the bottom and stop on people. Afraid to "address" problem employees and therefore make the better employees more frustrated. They would rather brush the problems under the rug and hope the go away on their own. Forcing good people to leave. There are people in jobs that dont belong because of who they know. A college degree doesnt make you an expert. LEAKS IN HR!!!! A lot of leaks in HR

Pros

Easy commute, nice views. Gym, always empty.....who has time.

Cons

Inexperienced managers, heavy workload - long days and weekends. Teamwork non existent. Low pay. There is no work/life balance-(that should be a negative star).
