Pros

Laid back, easy, paid training, end of year bonus based on company profit/performance

Cons

No real opportunities for advancement outside of Cleveland (unless you want to be a manager). It's a job not a career.

Pros

The pay is comparable to the market

Cons

No consistency in management from one group to the next. In order to advance you need to be one of the favorites and male. Hard work and dedication do not come into play. They no longer care about the people. When I first started it was all about the employees. I enjoyed coming to work and giving 110%. That is no longer the case. I come in do what I'm told and leave. I no longer feel that I can express my opinion. I have lost many friends here due to down sizing or better opportunities.

Pros

Working for Progressive has been a very positive experience for a working environment. The people are great, I've had multiple supervisors that I got along with well, and I enjoyed the culture, the decorations of the buildings, and the fact that there are many venues for even low end employees to provide feedback to senior management (including blogs, feedback tools, surveys and more). The company is financially stable, profitable, and it's only getting better. The advertising with Flo (and the new Messenger character) has been making the phones ring, and you can see from the public filings that the company is grew more than every major competitor in the auto insurance industry last year. This is going to make for a place where you can feel secure that your job should be safe for quite some time - and on top of that, yearly bonuses are based on certain measures of the company's success - last year was a strong year for this bonus, and signs are still good for more.

Cons

Career advancement, particularly from the contact center, has been non existent. After multiple years of working for the company, and looking for areas to advance both within the same department and in other areas, I've come to the determination that when you're in the contact center, you're stuck there. Of probably a couple hundred people I've had the honor of knowing in my time with the company, I've seen one or two advance to a better position. The most you can generally hope for is a lateral move, and even that is exceptionally difficult to pull off.
