Pros

Fast growing company, lots of opportunities for moving up. The pay and incentives are decent, but only if the company does well, it’s all based on gainshare. Access and openness to management all the way up is incredible.

Cons

Not so great work life balance. Customers are abusive and inappropriate on the phone and a supervisor basically said you should suck it up and sell the policy, the focus is on growth and increasing profitability not employee experience. They pride themself on transparency and integrity, but I have seen others be intentionally misled from the interview process, to the promotion process and so on. The work is mindless and requires very little skill. Hitting your numbers is very important even though you’ll hear that “it is the behaviors that we care about, your numbers will follow along” you’re encouraged to basically bully customers in to buying the policy to hit the numbers. The company is so focused on solving the immediate problem they often create a worse problem down the road by fixing today’s problem.

Pros

Great benefits with generous time off, very casual dress code, and a welcoming and dynamic company culture.

Cons

I worked in the inbound call center and the job is rough. Calls come in non-stop and customers are often irate, but that’s common for a call center. Progressive is a truly wonderful company so my advice would be: don’t apply to be in customer service or sales in the inbound call centers, apply for another position and work your way up from there.

Pros

Coworkers- which isn’t really anything the company contributes to

Cons

They hire local adjusters with no prior experience making employment gaps long while they train Local leadership does not follow corporate guidelines and uses a stricter set of guidelines making expectations confusing Multiple organizational or local reorgs cause management to drive ridiculous results to safeguard themselves from next reorganization Unpaid overtime that is expected, company has paid out 2 multi-million $ lawsuits for unpaid overtime and labor practices but still does not change
