Progressive

Employees say:

"Progressive really makes everyone feel welcome, supported and safe to be themselves. During difficult times in the world, I feel protected knowing that this is my workplace - I feel confident that the company will stay strong in representing our values and I feel like I have a great deal of security in knowing the company will do whatever it can to keep people employed. Throughout my years I have gotten to experience multiple organizations here at Progressive and have had a number of managers, supervisors and teammates. I can say that we truly have a great group of people that not just come to work to do their jobs but also take extra time to know who you are as a person and make you feel loved."

Employees say:

"Progressive has always encouraged me to bring myself to work - which stood out to me over 20 years ago when I started and remains true today. The company truly embraces individuality of thought and encourages healthy disagreement. This creates a culture where everyone feels their opinion matters and is provided a seat at the table."

Employees say: "Progressive is the most open company I have ever worked for. It is generous in all ways, truly. I could not be happier or more grateful than I am right now. Working for PGR is a joy in my life. I am proud of my work, recognized for my abilities with opportunities, and able to do meaningful work for solid pay. I tell everyone!"

Employees say:

"I love the scheduling options we have here, being a single mom it allows me to schedule my job around my life and not the other way around. The amount of support here also is amazing! No matter the position you hold there's someone there to speak to, bounce ideas off of, discuss policies to gain better understanding, etc."

Employees say:

"Progressive makes me feel at home. When I started here, I did not expect it to turn into a career. I love the work-life balance the most. In my position I have a lot of schedule flexibility and I am able to attend to things that come up in my personal life as needed. I also love that Progressive encourages our development and the variety available to move throughout the company if desired. I plan to be here for a long time."

Employees say:

"I am very appreciative of their care for female needs. For example, miscarriages and fertility. These things are put into our health care and even time away from work with pay. I feel they care about our mental and physical well-being. It feels good to know they care about us during those sensitive times."

Employees say: 

"Employee resource groups are supported and encouraged. ERGs include, among others, LGBTQ, Asian-American, African-American, network for empowering women, and military and disability awareness. I also love the profit-sharing in the form of Gainshare! Based on job grade, salary, and the company's performance, employees receive an annual Gainshare bonus. We have a newly implemented benefit—eight hours of volunteer time off to spend volunteering for your nonprofit of choice. Love it!"

Employees say:

"I love the emphasis on DEI through resource groups, meetings, and other DEI learning opportunities. I love that we are given so many flexible scheduling options so that we can really have a good work-life balance."

Progressive’s Inclusion Quarterly initiative features speakers and discussion groups, and encourages storytelling and sharing. A weeklong inclusion program in 2022 attracted 32,269 employees, who attended programming on topics such as thriving in a digital workplace and using emotional intelligence to nurture relationships and trust. 

Since its workplace shifted to 90% remote and hybrid over the pandemic, the insurer’s staff have increasingly relied on its intracompany social media platform to connect and share stories; 4,500 employees joined the platform in 2022. 

Every Progressive worker is eligible to recommend that any charity receive a $100 donation from the Progressive Insurance Foundation. In 2023 the company expanded its donation program to include national nonprofit Family Promise, which, alongside Progressive’s ongoing collaboration with the Cleveland operations of Humble Design, represents the company’s particular commitment to ending homelessness in the U.S.
