Pros
Good benefits and people are nice. Customers are awful
Kontras
I exceeded my metrics every month since the floor and still couldn’t get promoted bc I kept getting shifted around supervisors. I watched people way less hardworking and talented get the internships and interviews that I killer myself for months to get…..because their supervisors magically got them promoted and I had a supervisor that was never here, with me basically running their team. I got nothing out of that, just 3x times as much work, but laughably thought, “oh this will be great in a STAR interview - I didn’t pass the interview because I didn’t have enough “results” or “numbers”. Progressive ignored me for six months. Then, a job finally came up for something I have a degree in, model employee (21% PHA….), and even though it was a very technical masters degree/certification, Progressive didn’t want to see my portfolio or even ask me about it - they said I couldn’t provide enough results in my interview. Yeah, no kidding I didn’t have experiences and results to share in my interview because I begged for opportunities and everyone just would say “oh next month” - I left this month after months of progressive edging and it has been the best thing to ever happen to me. If you can do PHA, just go find a sales job. Progressive doesn’t care about merit or hard work (just supervisor luck). I’m sad that Progressive treated me the way they did after all the hard work I put in. Moral of the story? Go enjoy a little bit more aux 2 each day because that’s the only way to survive that job. Ignore the dangling carrots they strap to you during onboarding. Your work doesn’t matter - your supe does. Shame.
