Pros

If you really want to stay in the insurance industry as an adjuster, then Progressive will give you the tools you need to become a well diverse claims handler. Within just a month or so of training, you will have the abilities to handle all sorts of claims including property damage, bodily injury, negotiating with body shops and writing full auto / property damage estimates. Many companies look up to the training Progressive provides for it's employees.

Cons

-The pay is pretty low. It may be O.K. for a college grad but not if you are a sole supporter for a family. Also, expect your pay to pretty much be the same for the first couple of years with only a 4% raise per year IF you deserve it. - It will definitely take time to move up in the company. As a generalist associate, you start of as a team member of 4 or 5. To get to the next level as a team leader, you are not only going to have to compete against those team members for the position, but with other team members from other teams within your branch. Plan on 5+ years of doing the best work you can do in order to be looked at for the next level up - Team leader.... you may even have to move around the country in order to move on up. - Progressive is a penny pinching company. You will constantly find yourself as a middle man between the claimant / insured and the company. If one side of the claim is happy (either claimant or Progressive), the other side is not. - Extremely fast paced. You have to be organized and have EXCELLENT time management skills. Otherwise, your work will pile up on you and you enter a downward spiral begging your co-workers to help you out. 50+ hours a week at a busy branch.

Pros

steady, reliable, fair income in a decent work environment. pays well even with no degree. plenty of opportunities for growth. tuition reimbursement. on-site fitness center, doctor's office, cafeteria.

Cons

repetitive work. have to play along with the super-positive corporate culture to fit in and do well. only so much room for growth without relocation.
