Pros

Generally friendly co-workers, pretty ok benefits. Good parking. Security fence with gated access makes the place feel very secure.

Cons

You better be an expert salary negotiator when you are discussing salary, because you aren't going to get a raise after you start. It is busy. All the time. Calls are back to back, with 5 seconds between calls. Your aux time (time not on a call) is very closely watched. You are required to do sales pitches on most calls, even though it's a customer service position and are punished if not enough of your customers buy in. There are strict guidelines that you must follow for every call. And you can not deviate from them. This requires you to be constantly looking at them, without committing them to memory. When you are on a call, the audit software not only records the calls, but also does screen capture. If you aren't looking at those guidelines on you get nicked for it. It doesn't matter that some of the information hasn't changed in years. Good luck getting a day off. While you do get vacation time, it is almost impossible to be able to find a day to get off. You must schedule it at least 3 months in advance generally to get the day off. You don't get 2 days off in a row, unless you work the 4x10 schedule (4 days a week, 10 hour days). No career growth. There hasn't been a new coach in over 7 years, and a new manager in about 5. Managers do lateral moves, so your actual manager may change, but not due to hiring or promoting, just switching them around. There is virtually no promoting. Unless someone dies or quits you are in that entry level position permanently. There haven't been any promotions at my site in the 2 years I've worked here.

Pros

Pays well, good benefits, lots of time off, flexible work arrangements, some innovative projects to work on and great co-workers. Also most decisions are based on data, and not subjectivity.

Cons

Projects take too long to develop because of too much unnecessary complexity, red tape, and a culture of slow IT development. I would say as bad as it is, Progressive is the best of its competitors.

Pros

Employee and customer centric. Progressive makes it a point to recognize and appreciate their employees. Working on campus is wonderful. The cafeteria provides a plethora of food choices. They also have a convenient store and dry cleaner on site. The quiet rooms with reclining leather chairs are awesome. They have ongoing training to ensure that their customers are well taken care of. I no longer work for the company, but I will probably never switch my insurance because I have that much respect for the way they do business.

Cons

Being a phone rep can become monotonous.
