Pros

In my experience, the best reasons for working at Progressive iinclude an environment that fosters good work/life balance and opportunities to expand one's career. I believe that one has the flexibility to change careers better than most companies that I have worked. It is entirely on the individual to determine where they want to go.

Cons

When it comes to senior leadership positions, a downside can be the empasis that gets placed on the prestige of certain MBAs vs. the actual substance of the individual. While this is probably common across the industry, I think capable leaders who generate results are at a disadvantage because their MBA isn't from a top 10 instituition. Not everyone's circumstances in life can afford them that opportunity. For example, I admire high performers who have committed themselves to earning their Masters in the evenings because they have to provide for a family.

Pros

Good 401k plan, Good opportunity to advance up in the company as turnover rate within first year is 75% at Brooklyn / Queens Office.

Cons

Employee Morale is at its worst, last year over 12 employees quit within 3 weeks of one another. Benefits plan has changed for the worse, Company in Layoff structure. Company is planning to move all positions to cleveland as pay scale is much lower. Company has closed over 5 offices in NY State in the last year. Company gives "mental health" day offs for employees knowing the work environment is close to disasterous, which has led employees in the past to punch walls, join mental institutions and have nervous breakdowns.

Pros

It is easy to get hired as an entry level employee. There is a great cafeteria and workout facility on site. The benefit package is alright but not what you would expect from an insurance company.

Cons

Management does not seem to care about anything but numbers. They have a few favorites that can do no wrong and expect everyone else to pick up their slack.
