Pros

During my time there I was for the most part unhappy, but I do want to point out that the company's benefits were decent and they did allow flex time and time off for personal or family issues. Unforuntately, this is all that I can state that is positive about the company.

Cons

I was disgusted with how may employees received raises/ promotions because of favoritism, appearance, popularity, etc. I detest this type of work environment and I was relieved when I found another job. The company claims they have an open door policy, but if you take that route you become a target. The policy is nothing but a farce. Their systems are unreliable, inefficient and have many prod. issues. They do not have processes/procedures in place to help remedy this problem. It was so difficult to contribute in a postive and productive manner when you are working in such a suppressed environment. I know that everything I stated probably exists within any company but the point that I want to make is that at Pogressive it was rampant not just an isolated case or two.

Pros

Skill Development in I.T. makes us very productive and marketable

Cons

Very heavy management hierarchy - Ratio of IT managers to programmers is 3 to 1 if you count all managers. Too much overlap and negative environment because managers are afraid to lose their jobs so they will usually do anything to make themselves look valuable.

Pros

Great benefits, flexible work schedule, bright team members.

Cons

A Large IT department will sometimes hinder time to market for new applications due to the large number of groups that must be involved.
