Pros

(My review is based on my experience in working in the IT Department) Overall, a good place to start a career because of the opportunity to learn diverse skills, which would be beneficial in the future job market, as well as within Progressive. Also, there are many well knowledgeable professionals to learn from. Used to be a 'fun' place to work and learn. From what I hear, it isn't anymore.

Cons

Overkill by management and bureaucracy. Some good and a few excellent managers exist, but they are heavily outnumbered by people of dubious experience and extreme lack of understanding of the application of technology. A person who has not been good at any aspect of IT is eventually made an IT manager, because somehow a philosophy has been established that this lack of core IT skills or background actaully makes a better IT manager!

Pros

One day a week in the office. No weekends. Work from home 4 days. New hires do have to be in office 2 days for first year then go to 1 day a week. Benefits are good. Everyone is awesome. Really only had one supervisor who was a little on the micro managing side but they were new to it. Other than that VP don down the line to adjuster are all super nice and approachable

Cons

It’s a stress full job. I love it but it’s not for everyone. You have to be on your A game every day or you will get behind
