Good Place to Work but little room for growth

Business Outlook

Pros

Training provided is excellent. Flexible working hours Gain (Profit) Sharing program pays usually pays well at the end of the year Relaxed work environment

Cons

Work environment is perhaps a little too relaxed. Don't get anything done due to bureaucracy Too many people how have only worked at Progressive with a "We have always done it that way attitude". Promotion prospects in IT is poor. No room for job growth or career advancement.

Management should work hard to improve employee moral and the quality of middle managers

Business Outlook

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!
