Pros

Work environment is pretty relaxed. There is no dress code for most jobs in most campuses. Work is not too demanding. As far as the schedule is considered, Progressive is pretty flexible. Progressive encourages people to switch careers. Most campuses are located in a nice locality away from the downtown. Company is pretty stable financially. Over the last so many years, the financial stability has been maintained in Progressive. For people in IT, this is a decent place to work as Progressive is a leader in IT as for auto insurance industry is concerned. Progressive has a transparent profit sharing plan.

Cons

If Salary and benefits are No. 1 and 2 reasons on why you got to work, then Progressive is not the right place for you.

Pros

Work from home and flexible scheduling, can slide schedule up to two hours to accommodate appointments, etc.

Cons

Unrealistic claim volume, it ramps up slowly when you're in training and then you start getting so many claims you don't know what to do with them. Customer service is constantly preached, but it's not possible to return voicemails, texts and emails timely while managing 20 claims a day. They keep increasing volume, and you have to spend a minimum of 5 hours a week taking live calls, during which you cannot make any calls out on your own claims, and are required to work each claim you take a call on to it's fullest point, even when they are brand new and unassigned, taking you away from taking action on your own claims that could prevent calls. They are incorporating AI and digital tools that were intended to simplify the process and reduce phone time, but customers are upset and refuse to participate, which means claims are delayed awaiting digital statements, and then need more phone calls anyway. The expectations are outrageous.
