Selective Insurance reviews

Executive management demonstrates a serious lack of foresight and repeatedly makes decisions that appear likely to have long-term negative consequences for the company. There is a clear disconnect between leadership and corporate employees, with many employees feeling undervalued and unsupported. Over the past nine years, the company has expanded its footprint by nearly 50% while adding little to no corporate staff and even downsizing certain departments, creating overwhelming workloads and making it difficult to work effectively or efficiently. What was especially disappointing was seeing long-tenured, highly respected employees — some with 30+ years of service and invaluable institutional knowledge — let go in an abrupt and disheartening manner. The impact their departure will have on the organization appears to be greatly underestimated. The ongoing lack of resources, excessive workloads, and poor leadership decisions have created an increasingly stressful and toxic work environment.

Many unfavorable changes at the Sr. Management level with key long term regional and home office people leaving for "retirement" or other career opportunities. Horrible rating and policy issuance systems; everything requires "work arounds". Company prefers to build its own systems and they are inefficient, outdated and make it hard to compete. The focus is on agent and not the employee. Management has a "let them eat cake" mentality; very elitist group.
