Pros

Progressive's training programs, especially in IT, are fantastic. You have ample opportunity to move around throughout your career and they do a lot of promoting from within. Everyone is casual and fun, and since their business relies so heavily on technology, you have more say and more power than other Fortune 500 companies.

Cons

Everyone has a long tenure, so it can be intimidating at first. Although the long tenure kind of shows how great they are. For young people looking to be adventurous though, you may find that most conversations involve other people's children and house-work, but Cleveland is awesome if you need to scratch that youthly itch. For a company with so much money and influence, they don't really have a fantastic green initiative (which is weird, considering their customer base tends to be young people, who are very green).

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.
