Key Bank

Headquarters: Cleveland, OH

2006 Revenues: $4.6 billion

Full-time employees: 20,000

Website: www.key.com/jobs

Get quote: KEY

Type of company: Bank

What makes it so great? This financial-services company looks for motivated self-starters, who can expect 12 weeks of intensive training as they leave the gate. Last year it hired 58 new college grads to work at its Cleveland headquarters and paid them an average starting salary of $45,000. Not sure what area you'd like to work in? The first year includes rotational training between different businesses (from retail to small-business banking, loans, investing, and wealth management), helping to build the potential to transfer to other cities around the country, including Dallas, Boston, Atlanta, and New York.

Progressive Insurance

Headquarters: Mayfield Village, OH

2006 Revenues: $14.8 billion

Full-time employees: 28,000

Website: www.jobs.progressive.com

Get quote: PGR

Type of company: Insurance

What makes it so great? Just as its name implies, this insurer takes a different approach to its nearly 28,000-strong workforce, which is comprised of driven team-oriented individuals from all different backgrounds. Last year, 400 new college grads were hired. Jobs can be tailored to meet individual interests and there's a business-casual dress code. If you get tired of looking at your co-workers, there's also a 6,500 piece contemporary art collection decorating the 350 offices nationwide. And when you can't get away from the office, you can take advantages of conveniences like onsite health care, photo development, and dry cleaning, to name just a few.
