Too much Work

Recommend

Pros

Pay is good. I guess they pay you well to make up for the terrible work environment.

Cons

Caseload is unmanageable. Management at the Charlotte office is terrible. Too much favoritism and too many cliques. No work life balance. Terrible place to work. Everyone is looking to leave or apply for a lower position to be able to manage their desk.

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.

Great benefits, unreasonable work load

Pros

Benefits are way above average -8.5% 401k contribution, nice annual bonus etc. Coworkers are wonderful for the most part.

Cons

Workload was crazy - more like a 60-70 hour week than a 40 hour. Part of the problem was corporate management kept coming up with new (and largely unnecessary) job duties without taking any away.
