Pros
It all depends on where you work and the people you work with, just like any other job. I loved where I worked & the people I worked with each and every day. I got good raises. The gainshare was great. Compared to where I worked before, I had no complaints when it came to money, people or time off. ETB was great. You only lost vacation time if you never took as there was a cap. But the cap for ETB was about 40 days of saved up time off. Benefits were great. I don't care what any body says. I know people with 60/40 plans or have to pay for there spouses & childrens insurance. You will learn a lot. You will be worth a lot more to another insurance company. Progressive IS the training ground for adjusters. Take advantage of any training they will give you or pay for. Then start your job search. If you are relocatable, you should be safe.
Cons
Most recent lay off was determined randomly. Team Leaders & Up, only. Your performance was irrelevant. You are a number. Unless you are in the good old boy network. Company does not hire until the employees are almost burnt out. Work more for less pay. MRR's are lucky to get a lunch hour. MRRs are under paid for the amount of work they do. Management left at the branch level now has less team leaders so that means they are working harder & longer hours and not getting compensated. Don't believe what upper management tells you. You could get the axe at anytime.
