Pros

- Very good WLB - Pay is decent in Cleveland Area

Cons

- Managers seem only to care about themselves, and they try anything to steal your work and credits for their career benefit. You do not have any chance to show your work to the senior leaders, and your manager will do that instead. - Promotion is highly not transparent. For some people they can be promoted every year (which is really insane, I consider junior to senior for at least 1.5-2 years, and senior to lead should be another 1.5 to 2 years). If you really want to have a successful career in R&D, make sure you lick your boss's a** and/or work overtime like crazy. Otherwise, you will need 3 years to be promoted from junior to senior. - Hard to believe as of now (May 2022), that the main programming language used is still SAS (and some level of R). Oh not even to mention lots of work in Excel - Strong regulation means it keeps you away from applying complex Machine Learning and Deep Learning models. And unfortunately, managers in R&D do not even know those models, which makes sense. -- If you really want to work in the insurance industry, make sure you join UBI (usage-based insurance) instead of R&D. The risk-based pricing approach is receiving more and more challenges from the legal side, and it's eventually will be replaced by UBI

Pros

You can quit! There is life outside of Progressive.

Cons

-they count on constant mass hirings to replace their consistent high turnovers from people leaving the company in droves, they literally factor in burnout into their hiring practices, especially for the PCS role -you can be the senior person on your team with as little as 4 months at the company, which is insane. No one usually makes it to 9 months, let alone a year. -you will work unpaid evenings and weekends as a matter of course to try and keep up with their crazy metrics. officially they will talk about work/life balance, but it is nonexistent here -when you are out (sick, pto, etc) no one handles your files even if you ask for help with new or urgent files, not even your supervisor helps, even when you beg them to. they just send you extra reminders that you are behind on those files when you are back in the office and then they count them against you when they review your metrics -this place lives and dies by its metrics -when you are out no one tells callers that you are out and then you get angry callers to deal with when you return, like if you were out sick suddenly -the workload is crushing and only gets worse with time -management does not care about you whatsoever -you will get lots of corporate emails about empowerment and wellness but then they have no problem working you into an early grave -do not apply here, worst job I have ever had, this is not typical for insurance company or claims even -if you ask for help you are threatened with probation or termination

Pros

Great people to work with Competitive pay Awesome benefits - 6% company match for 401K

Cons

Definitely political when it comes to moving your way up. Need to be buddy-buddy with the top, and view things the same way they do. Straight across the board raises. They do not base raises based on your performance even though they track essentially your every move from how long your on the phone with clients, to the amount it time it takes to check your voicemail, to how many claims you close per week, but apparently when it comes to raises those metrics go out the window. You'll be the hardest working person there and still get the same raise as the next person. Not my forte. Gives you zero incentive to work hard IMO.
