Pros

Progressive is possibly the best company I have ever worked for. The workplace is very relaxed. There's not really a dress code unless you're in management. There's usually some sort of event going on to get away from work-stress...farmer's markets, cultural education events, etc... The gainshare program is fantastic. Work efficiently and effectively, get a nice bonus at the end of the year. Compensation is right at the national average (but is generous for the position). Benefits are very affordable. Managers are very understanding of personal issues and are willing to work with you in case of family hardships. Schedules are also fairly flexible, especially if you are still continuing your education. The higher ups actually take time to visit even tier 1, listen to calls, and provide feedback. I'm talking about the CEO and his direct reports, not just "upper" management. Programs are in place to move up in the company. Mentoring, shadowing, etc...

Cons

Tier 1 management is a bit of a revolving door (though, not entirely due to attrition). It can be tough when you have a new manager every year. Due to this, you can get a so-so manager that doesn't really understand the Service Desk job.

Pros

Once you reach 5 years, excellent vacation accrual. Gainshare is a nice touch, though it barely brings annual salary close to the regional midpoint. Constant change: Progressive is forward thinking & does well at trying and testing new procedures to gain an edge on the competition. An excellent place to learn the business and develop a widely marketable skill set.

Cons

Career ceiling is now one step above entry-level; low salaries compared to the competition. Constant change: eliminates continuity in handling at all levels, resulting in wretched communication between management and the worker bees. The company appears to be slowly re-centralizing operations to lower-paid regions and in the process is eliminating growth and opportunity for lower-level employees, as well as RIF'ing or demoting lower- and middle-management.

Pros

Large corporation with job security. Flexible work schedules for most exempt positions. Yearly bonus based somewhat on company profits.

Cons

The company used to be a great place for career growth, however, those opportunities have become fewer for those already employed by the company. Senior manager's are out of touch and the company is starting to suffer as a result. Company grew faster than it was able to mature it's practices and policies.
