Great at the start, but this place will end up sucking the life out of you - And I'm not the only one... - Project Specialist Progressive Insurance Employee Review

Pros

Salary, Benefits, vacation, most people you work with.

Cons

Upper managers are elitist and look down upon their employees (not all, but ALOT), If you don't have a certain pedigree, you will go nowhere. Managers are not trained, they all have huge weaknesses. Progressive tends to think that anyone with a MBA from a top school can manage people and that is not the case. Alot of disfunction. HR is horrible as well. They only listen to upper managers. Most people who have been at Progressive a long time get STUCK because you make good money, have good benefits, and good vacation, so it's hard to leave. But, after a while, that doesn't matter anymore because it will suck the life out of you. Upper managers don't care about your thoughts and ideas and really, don't care much about you. They are all on their own journey and they don't care about the people who help them make tons of money. The managers make a ton of money on the backs of everyone else. But, the good news is there is life outside of Progressive and it is great and liberating! ESCAPE WHILE YOU CAN!

Pros

Pay is alright for starting out, especially compared to some places. Benefits are decent. Management is generally supportive. If you don't mind sales and taking calls literally your entire working shift, then this could be a great fit.

Cons

If you don't want to be on the phones back-to-back all day your options are extremely limited, and getting smaller as time goes on and A.I. allows them to close departments like mine and others.
