"I have worked for Progressive for approaching 15 years. They have strong ethical values and generally decent talent for an IT organization that is more than 3000 people in IT. They do suffer from process beauracracy and an inability to identify top talent. Some amongst the senior management ranks are very ineffective."

"This review only applies to the Progressive claims department. If you are unable to work 12-14hrs a day minimum for the first year then Progressive is not for you. The starting position is that of a file owner. The overall goal of file owners is to last long enough to get out of that position. Once you move out of that position then a regular 9hr day is very possible and Progressive is a good company to work for. However before that you are disposable."

"Progressive Insurance is the worst job I have ever had in my 18 years of work experience. The coaches and supervisors lie about performance, listen to your phone calls and lie about what you did or didn't do. They let people graduate academy if they are liked by the coaches. They tell you your performance is poor but can't tell you how to fix it. They use metrics to evaluate performance but can't even break down how all the numbers add up. If your rep aux is over 19.5% you suck. And they threaten you with write-ups constantly. The coaches and supervisors speak poorly about employees and you can hear what they are saying. They are idiots at Progressive and should consider getting more professional, experienced or educated managers as coaches instead of promoting from within. And then the coaches lie for the managers and vice versa. You can't even socialize with your coworkers except during lunch. Very hostile and isolating environment to work in. Anyone that is planning on working for Progressive, go somewhere else. Don't make it a career. Worst place to work ever. Gainsharing isn't even worth working there. You get 8-16% bonus each year based on yearly salary and company profitability. Still not worth the hassle, stress and isolation by leadership. Good luck making friends, there's no point because you have to answer the phone every second of the day."

"Terrible place to work. This company will completely take advantage of hard working people. You’re paid salary $50-$53k a year and they don’t tell you during the hiring process you’ll be expected to work 60+ hours a week. Expect to have zero work/life balance and be treated terribly by supervisors. Supervisors are lazy and don’t want to speak to customers. The job is a joke. If you have any sort of skill set - you can do better. Don’t waste your time with this horrible company. Worst. Job. EVER."

"very good with hours of work"
