Progressive Insurance Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Progressive Insurance full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Benefits - between the onsite medical office, cafeterias, kitchen stations on every floor of every building, onsite gym, dry cleaners, quiet room...I could go on & on. Even the healthcare is better than every company I've worked for, before & after.
Culture - made some life-long friends from starting in the call center, all the way on up to IT and business roles. I'm one of the few that has left (regrettably). Many friends still there, with a stable position that provides challenges. How great is that in today's corporate economic state?

For anyone out there that complains about Progressive, all I can say is go work somewhere else doing the same, and let me know how that turns out. I've worked for 2 other companies since leaving due to a relocation and I can guarantee you nobody out there is as transparent to their employees and provides as much. If you are in one of the hourly positions, sure, it may not be as great. But like I said - go do the same elsewhere and see how that goes. As for promotion opportunities, I started out in the call center and moved UP into 4 other positions during a 7 year tenure. With every step I met more great people, learned more and felt like I worked for a company that respected their employees. Progressive is a fantastic company. If you think the grass is greener, I wish you luck.

Cons – No hiring program in place for Alumni. If you have good people that leave on good terms and want to come back, it should be an easy process to get them back in.

Advice to Senior Management – Add an Alumni hiring program to easily get your best team members back, given the opportunity.

Advice to Senior Management – Management should take more time training associates for a career path within the company. The job at hand takes some time to understand and master so I think it would be great for management to spend more time developing new adjusters.

Advice to Senior Management – Understand the work of your employee's above anything else

Current Employee – been working at Progressive Insurance full-time for less than a year

Pros – Progressive is a great company that values it's product and the people that make that product worthwhile. They invest in their employees professionally, personally and financially. The benefits are great, with nice bonuses at the end of the year, lots of paid days off and great health care. The people are fantastic and they really try and make sure you are taken care of.

Cons – Most of the positions here are call center types. I sit on a phone most of the day, rarely see other employees and people are much more likely to get angry when over the phone. I am in a cubicle (with a nice view), sitting down in front of a computer for 10 hours a day. I think this job is perfect for some people, but make sure it fits your personality.

Advice to Senior Management – More knowledge of other department's work would fuel better service. Otherwise, great job making this a good place to work.

Current Employee – been working at Progressive Insurance full-time for more than a year

Pros – Decent pay and friendly coworkers.

Cons – Unreasonable workloads, the faster and more efficient you are the more work that you get assigned to you. Taking a day off is basically shooting yourself in the foot and you will be paying back your time off one way or another albeit working weekends or staying late to catch up on the massive work load that has been assigned to you and not completed while out of the office.

Advice to Senior Management – Reduce workload.
