Pros

(My review is based on my experience in working in the IT Department) Overall, a good place to start a career because of the opportunity to learn diverse skills, which would be beneficial in the future job market, as well as within Progressive. Also, there are many well knowledgeable professionals to learn from. Used to be a 'fun' place to work and learn. From what I hear, it isn't anymore.

Cons

Overkill by management and bureaucracy. Some good and a few excellent managers exist, but they are heavily outnumbered by people of dubious experience and extreme lack of understanding of the application of technology. A person who has not been good at any aspect of IT is eventually made an IT manager, because somehow a philosophy has been established that this lack of core IT skills or background actaully makes a better IT manager!

Pros

Great supervisor, and great coworkers. Training was good and I left training fully able to do my job with confidence. Sometimes we have fun meetings to attend. Can work in office when we want which is nice on days I want to get out of the house since I work remotely.

Cons

Low pay for work load and responsibilities. Extra responsibilities don’t equal extra pay. Very micromanaged and timed per task which can be stressful if a task takes longer than it should due to circumstances outside of your control. Low raises even with high performance rating.
