Avantages
Because I have dedicated myself to my job as a career, I have seen much effort placed in my development. Senior management understands that employees need to have attainable goals. Monthly coaching discussions are emphasized to assist in each person's growth. There are so many different avenues to get into within the company. It's no secret that Progressive spends a lot of money on training good people. It's the reason we have scouts constantly looking to steal away our talent. Senior management recognizes that people are people outside of the workforce. We come together inside the office as one big team and leave outside differences behind us.
Inconvénients
If you work in claims, the workload can be very intense. It's pretty much a product of "Corporate America" to be pushed and prodded with the words "accuracy" and "efficiency" so Progressive is not alone. But a standard 8 hour shift, not to mention the stress going home can be very wearing. BUT, the pressure I've endured has only made me a stronger person, even outside of the company.
