Pros

Very good and stable company to work for. Stock incentives, 401k match, and benefits are all GREAT compared to most companies. Big company with plenty of opportunties. GREAT company to work for as long as you aren't in Accounting.

Cons

Accounting department gets treated like CRAP. Accounting department works harder and longer hours than any other department on Salary yet gets paid considerably less than other departments (internal audit, Business Intelligence, etc.). Current controller and mangers of accounting play favorites. If you don't fit their type (prefer females, settled down with family, not outgoing) then you will have a harder time getting promoted. In my 4 years I saw about 20 people quit or take a demotion to get out of accounting, while only seeing 6-7 promotions (all girls except 1)

Pros

Hard working and decades group of employees, unfortunately, the amount of time put into the job is not recognized or acknowledged (definitely not a pro).

Cons

The absolute worse work/life balance I've ever experienced in a job. Workload is impossible. The computer systems is surprisingly antiquated for a company of Selective's stature. Simple adjustments and fixes could be implemented to improve efficiency but are completely overlooked and ignored, perhaps, because no one has time to review or are afraid to stand up for the employees. You simply can't expect employees to work the assigned case load and do a good job!
