Pros

stability, people are always getting into accidents, benefits are decent, time off is okay.

Cons

Job puts you in the middle, between the customer and management. Costs to settle are the most important thing, more important with the client. This leads to constant battle first between customers and the rep, then between the rep and management, then back and forth. Expected hours are insane, reps often suffer from burn out in the first two years. Senior guys place bets on the new people, and if they'll make it a year or not.

Pros

The best reasons to work at Progressive are the holistice approach given to the employees given towards attendance. Progressive understands that employees need to miss work sometimes and therefore we do not have a strick attendance policy as some employers do. This holistic approach makes it a lot easier to balance life and work. Also they have a great work from home program in the works that is going to benefit a lot of people. I think that that is a terrifc benefit for employees and I can't wait to have the opportunity given to me.

Cons

Some of the downsides of working at Progressive would have to be the new change in the training program. I recently started at Progressive and the training program is all web based training and work at your own pace. The problem is is that the training is out of order and there are a lot of things that are not taught so when you start to handle customer accounts you are lost and there is a lot of things that you don't know that are common sense things. I managed to do well because I have previous insurance background so I was able to wing it.

Pros

In my experience, the best reasons for working at Progressive iinclude an environment that fosters good work/life balance and opportunities to expand one's career. I believe that one has the flexibility to change careers better than most companies that I have worked. It is entirely on the individual to determine where they want to go.

Cons

When it comes to senior leadership positions, a downside can be the empasis that gets placed on the prestige of certain MBAs vs. the actual substance of the individual. While this is probably common across the industry, I think capable leaders who generate results are at a disadvantage because their MBA isn't from a top 10 instituition. Not everyone's circumstances in life can afford them that opportunity. For example, I admire high performers who have committed themselves to earning their Masters in the evenings because they have to provide for a family.
