Pros
It's difficult to discuss pros, because a lot had been changing with the company during the couple years before I left. Many positives were becoming negatives as I made the decision to leave. Laid-back work environment. No one breathes down your neck. Breaks, lunch, etc. are very relaxed. The atmosphere promotes relaxed people, so you'll enjoy your coworkers and you'll make friends there. You can probably work at home. Pay and benefits are solid for the work you do. Paid training - they pay you to get your insurance license.
Cons
No more flexible scheduling, which Progressive used to be famous for. They now use performance-based scheduling, the outrageous unfairness of which is hard to comprehend. Although Progressive puts way less emphasis on numbers that certain other companies do, they still put too much emphasis on numbers, and not enough emphasis on the way you actually do your job and the ultimate bottom-line results of what you do. The company is way too modular, with different departments unwittingly working against each other.

It could be awesome... could be. They make it so much harder than it has to be.

Pros
Nice office, desks, equipment, and at some locations, amazing options for employees. Workers are family. Pay used to be great... lots and lots of time off. multiple benefits options. Lots of learning, training, etc. Company vehicles., decent equipment, perks here and there.
Cons
Company vehicles do not have bathrooms. taking time off only penalizes your fellow team mates. Employee recognition no longer exists, advancement no longer exists, sure, you can move to another state but who can afford to move for 1,000 more a year??? No more upward mobility. Impossible metrics... It was a great opportunity when I started a long time ago... people were moving up, incredible opps, salaries, on and on... so I came aboard and fell into chaos, stupidity, and turnover like a pancakes on an IHOP grill. Out of 100, maybe 10 of us survived... its not a job for many. Here is what you have to understand: No matter the company, its a for profit business... shareholders and board members demand the $$$$$, and boy do they get it. Preaching about the customer, integrity, on and on... Preaching about the employees, do what they can to keep them, on and on... all of it is BS... its a business. They care about the bottom line, plain and simple. I get it... I completely understand, and if you dont or disagree... you cant work in a business like this. The american dream is here... its called GREED. LIke good ol Gordo says... Greed is good! If you cant work hard, done apply, if you cant say no, dont apply, if you cant kiss booty dont apply, if you care about customers, dont apply. If you care about making money and making your manager look good to keep your job, then jump on it and come aboard. The truth? all companies are the same... they are all about the bottom line people. M O N E Y Just try and get you some too. There is plenty of money, you just have to sift it from all the bull shot they hand you.
