Top Car Insurance Companies for Military Employment

Wednesday, September 14th, 2011

Military Times EDGE takes a yearly survey of the Fortune 1,000 companies and government contractors to determine the most military and veteran friendly companies.  Progressive car insurance made the employer list for the Best for Vets 2011.  The top fifty employers for military veterans are based on recruitment of military personnel, their policies regarding reserves, and the overall corporate culture.

Progressive is a very active recruiter of military workers through job fairs, military job boards, online and social media websites, and also military magazines and newspapers.  They also work closely with the Department of Defense program TAP, which assists veterans transitioning to civilian life after military tours or careers.  Active-duty reservists get 100% differential pay from Progressive car insurance, so if they make more at Progressive than in the military they won’t lose that pay while serving.

As one of the top car insurance companies for military veterans to work for, Progressive maintains a culture very supportive of the military.  They offer medical benefits while reservists are serving and even have a hiring program for spouses of their military employees.  It may be hard to find other car insurance companies with such great military benefits, but Military Times EDGE hopes that many companies will follow Progressive’s lead.  They find veterans to have great leadership and discipline, making them excellent workers.

Progressive Car Insurance Has 1st Android App

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

According to “Progressive Launches Industry’s First Android App for Car Insurance,” a Progressive car insurance press release, they have the first Android app relating to car insurance.  It uses the Google Android operating system to allow smart phone users to access a number of Progressive services.  ComScore, Inc., a digital measuring company, reports Android as the smart phone platform with the most rapid growth in the market currently.  Since launching the app, Progressive has seen a large increase in Android customers visiting their mobile based web site.  It’s really designed to help customers simplify each aspect of their car insurance.

This free application is similar to Progressive’s iPhone app and is available in the Android marketplace.  Car insurance companies work hard to compete for young business and staying on top of the latest technology is a great way to do that.  With the Android app users can obtain quotes and a policy, make payments and changes to their account, and find directions to an agent or their nearest service center.  They can also do research on recalls or crash tests, calculate car loan payments, compare insurance on different cars, make and track their claims, and watch Progressive’s television commercials.  There isn’t much related to car insurance that can’t be done with Progressive’s mobile app.
