Avoid at all costs

Pros

You can expect at least a cost of living increase year over year. The company offers gainsharing with all employees at different levels which provides a nice end-of-year bonus in profitable years. Most of the non-management employees I worked with were great people and many of them became good friends of mine.

Cons

The politics at Progressive are as bad as I've ever seen or read about anywhere. Workloads are unreasonable, pay is below industry average and the company has a track record for unethical behavior including using private detectives to infiltrate a church group to spy on a couple suing the company in back in 2007 (don't believe me, just Google it). There were constantly changing standards for how claims should be handled and very poor communication of those changes down from the corporate to regional to local levels. If you're willing to brown-nose and get in good with the right people, you'll be set. If not, you're in trouble.

Pros

Benefits once your able to use them. Other than that not a whole lot.

Cons

The pay is on the low end for the work required. Everyone tells you to do well and get out of the department it's impossible when the training is poor and they nit pick at little things. These little things could impact your end of year review causing you not to get a pay raise. The 10% differential literally comes out to be 5 bucks extra to work on the weekend it's a slap in the face to see it on your check that way. Customers are angry with you because of their claims representatives actions that have nothing to do with you. But because we're the pee ons we take the heat for them. People do your research there are better paying companies with better working hours. Definitely not worth the aggravation.

Pros

Very diversified work environment. Great benefits. Lots of training available. Corporate locations are very nice. Wonderful art collection, much on display. Fitness centers. Heath centers with Physicians on staff, not just a nurse. Flu shots and mamgrams at the office. Progressive has a lot to offer employees. I will say that much of the negative is from those that have not worked in many other places. The grass is Greener Syndrome.

Cons

Senior Management can be out of touch. They say open doors. Challenge everything. But in reality, go with the flow. Promotions can be tough to get. Salary raises are minimal. It's Human nature. Managers are people too.
