Pros

Progressive would rate average in compensation and salaries but their benefits are very good. Medical, dental and vision coverages are offered. 401K - the company matches a 6% employee contribution.

Cons

The claims positions are highly stressful. The positions, both inside claims and field reps are micro-managed in terms of number of claims per day and estimates for auto reps. There are call center reps that tell customers the field claims rep will be at their residence between 8-12pm and you have no idea the appointment was ever made. The company wants each rep to complete 3 assignment or tasks per day. This is reasonable but they may send you eight or more. You need to decide which ones you think you can do then call the body shop and or the customer, for the ones you can't make and try to reschedule. This is time consuming and stressful especially if it is a customer that was told you would be out that morning. This can be a daily occurrence.

Pros

The staff and management was great. A clean employee lounge with great coffee selection. Catered food when the big bosses made quarterly trips to the office. 100% match of 401K contributions up to 6 percent of your salary.

Cons

Work-life balance was miserable. The job is rough as it is, but imagine being stressed out about having poor performance review if every part of a written script wasn't followed (even if a particular situation didn't require it). When other cities in your state were overwhelmed, calls would start over flowing into your office; so now you would have to deal with your own cities claims plus another city hundreds of miles away at times...

Pros

Most coworkers are extremely smart and motivated. There is interest in continuous improvement and an appetite to take risks (but if that change includes IT work, see cons below). You can carry over unused time off from year to year. Regular performance reviews.

Cons

Terrible work-life balance. Product manager positions go to outside top 10 MBA grads unless you get a rare asst PM role (1 in personal lines PM, 2 in PL R&D, 3-4 in commercial lines; and all but the first were added in the past 1-2 years). Minimal opportunity for moving around within the company once in an equity level position even though it is highly desired. Small IT projects that are common sense but cannot show enough dollar improvement in CBA will not be prioritized. Giving positive rating below because they'll continue to improve business results.
