Pros

There are numerous development opportunities and training classes available to all associates. There is a lot of diversity in the projects that are offered to you. You will be around a fair amount of very smart people with very different backgrounds -- different both culturally and academically.

Cons

There is not sufficient education reimbursement (if you wish to continue your education outside of training programs) -- $2K/yr doesn't cut it. Paid time off seems a bit low compared to other companies this size. Pay seems very low compared to others companies, however, it is often argued as geographic -- Cleveland headquarters does not necessitate high pay. There seems to be an awful lot of emphasis (promotions, pay, corporate ladder, etc...) on the MBA, rather than innate technical abilities and/or other certifications and degrees.

Pros

It all depends on where you work and the people you work with, just like any other job. I loved where I worked & the people I worked with each and every day. I got good raises. The gainshare was great. Compared to where I worked before, I had no complaints when it came to money, people or time off. ETB was great. You only lost vacation time if you never took as there was a cap. But the cap for ETB was about 40 days of saved up time off. Benefits were great. I don't care what any body says. I know people with 60/40 plans or have to pay for there spouses & childrens insurance. You will learn a lot. You will be worth a lot more to another insurance company. Progressive IS the training ground for adjusters. Take advantage of any training they will give you or pay for. Then start your job search. If you are relocatable, you should be safe.

Cons

Most recent lay off was determined randomly. Team Leaders & Up, only. Your performance was irrelevant. You are a number. Unless you are in the good old boy network. Company does not hire until the employees are almost burnt out. Work more for less pay. MRR's are lucky to get a lunch hour. MRRs are under paid for the amount of work they do. Management left at the branch level now has less team leaders so that means they are working harder & longer hours and not getting compensated. Don't believe what upper management tells you. You could get the axe at anytime.
