Horrible place to work

Pros

"Gainshare." Every employee of Progressive gets a Gainshare bonus at year end, which is not performance based and non-discretionary. It is solely based on Progressive's stock performance, policies sold and other economic factors. It's a nice benefit.

Cons

This job was the worst job I've ever had. Everyone is completely overworked. We were expected to work every night and every weekend. They fired half the staff and did not replace them, they just expected the remaining employees to work 80 hour weeks. They rule by fear and everyone constantly felt that they were going to be fired. My department hired about 15 new lawyers in 2 years and every one of them either quit or got fired. Nobody ever stayed there longer than a year or so. We also went through 3 managers in 2 years. Truly a toxic work environment.

Pros

Good level entry position without needing college for a living wage. Coworkers

Cons

-The company sells lies of great career growth but in actuality most moves are lateral or learning new skills (read: heavier workload/same position) without more pay. -you will be assigned more supervisors per year than how long you've worked there. Once you learn what your supervisor likes you get a new one with different goals for you, which backtracks opportunities for annual salary increases -although this is a customer service position, one of our primary objectives is up selling/cross selling/'feature' selling offers and we are threatened weekly with performance management if our customers don't accept those offers (we were not hired for sales!) -other job objectives include extreme micromanagement of time/call efficiency due to heavy call volume. Reps will either sacrifice call quality or learn how to game the system to meet targets and supervisors look the other way because their team's numbers are their performance objectives. If you actually care about delivering a 100% customer experience this job is not for you, you will have to lower your own compassion for customers' needs to keep your job. -HR is a joke in delivering any work/life balance needs. Do not expect to be heard. -supervisors are so removed from what it's actually like to do this job they are not capable of understanding any hardships mentioned above -I was hired with a class of almost 30 people, there are maybe 4-5 of us still with the company. All are looking elsewhere.

Pros

Wonderful CEO, corporate creates a supportive atmosphere, strong upward mobility, love the commitment to the arts and community

Cons

Poor Management, Inconsistent, underskilled and unaligned supervisors, less than par health insurance, use of gainshare to make a fairly mediocre salary appealing.
