RIVERVIEW, FL — Progressive Insurance expects to hire 1,500 new employees in Tampa Bay this year, a move the company said will support its rapid growth. The company plans to hire 10,000 people nationwide.
“This is the largest hiring forecast in Progressive’s history,” said Chief Human Resources Officer Lori Niederst. “We are excited to add hardworking talent to our team who are interested in a career with Progressive. For decades, we’ve been developing people who started in jobs like these into successful business athletes who rise to our leadership ranks. In fact, our CEO started as a claims rep and I joined Progressive as an analyst.”
In the Tampa Bay area, Progressive is looking to add new employees to the company’s customer service, sales, multi-product sales, claims representatives, marketing, legal, IT, business analysis and other teams.
Progressive officials said the company has grown more than 50 percent over the past three years, and boasted $30 billion in revenue in 2018.
Besides the Tampa area jobs, Progressive expects to hire:
- Austin, TX – 1,000 employees
- Colorado Springs, CO – 1,100 employees
- Phoenix, AZ – 375 employees
- Sacramento, CA – 380 employees
- Cleveland, OH – 2,000 employees
More than half of the jobs will be based at large Progressive campuses nationwide. The other positions will be housed in Progressive field claims offices, or work from home.
With nearly 3,500 employees, the Tampa corporate offices at 3302 S. Falkenburg Road and 4030 Crescent Park Drive in Riverview are Progressive’s second largest location in the country.
Additionally, Progressive has corporate offices at 1 ASI Way N. in St. Petersburg.
