Pros

One of the pros is you do get a lot of time off decent benefits and flexibility in your workday if your not overwhelmed

Cons

The biggest downside to this company is its management and overall culture. Leadership struggles to make decisions and operates in a very disorganized manner. Employees are consistently overloaded with work, leading to burnout, high stress, and unrealistic performance expectations. There is also a noticeable level of favoritism, and both directors and upper management often fail to listen to employee concerns. While they promote the idea of work-life balance and claim to value their staff, the reality does not reflect that message. As the company has grown, staffing has not kept pace, leaving teams understaffed, overworked, and operating in constant chaos. Compensation is also below what other insurance carriers offer for similar roles. Perhaps most concerning, instead of holding underperformers accountable, expectations are lowered for them—while high performers are pushed to their limits or out the door entirely. Overall, I would not recommend this company as a place of employment.

Best company I have ever worked for.

Cons

Can't think of any. Working remotely gets lonely at times but that's not Progressive's fault.

Pros

Strong, stable company with a clear operating model — you know how things are supposed to work. Competitive benefits, bonus structure, and overall financial consistency. Flexibility in how and where you work, depending on the role. Opportunities to build a long-term career if you can navigate the organization effectively. Talented colleagues and cross-functional partners who care about doing good work.

Cons

Leadership quality is inconsistent, and your experience is highly dependent on who you report to. High performers are often relied on heavily without corresponding recognition or support. Decision-making can be political, with credit and visibility not always aligned to actual contribution. Communication and alignment break down at higher levels, creating unnecessary friction. Innovation and strategic work can be constrained by legacy thinking and internal dynamics. Psychological safety is not consistent across teams, particularly when challenging leadership or the status quo.
