Q&A With Progressive Insurance Employees
Trust us, we've heard it. Many of us have said it. But then we got here and were pleasantly surprised. Progressive is more than you'd expect from an insurance company. There's a reason that we're a Fortune 200 company and why we've been named one of the best places to work in our major locations. With our progressive culture, diversity, employee benefits, military support, and one of the largest contemporary art collections in the country, it's just different here. And we think that's a good thing. We work hard and are rewarded for it. If you have drive, passion, creativity, and a desire to help people, Progressive could be a place where you grow and thrive.
