Pros

Pros are that it starts off slow and training is very easy. But that is a false picture of the job.

Cons

I don't know where to start. The fact that training presented a false picture of the job and covers about half of what you need to know. The training wasn't specific to my state either. After training they start you off slow. However, be prepared for no support. My manager told me she never onboarded a new hire and wasn't sure what to do. So she did the bare minimum. She was barely available for help. She would only forward procedures. It is hard to learn with no help with a remote job. The customers are awful. Everybody lies to you on top of not understanding their own policy. You aren't provided with enough knowledge to adequately educate the customer anyway. It is a terrible job. There are not enough words to express my dissapointment with Progressive. I was very excited when I was hired but I quickly found out the job is incredibly overwhelming. The training was a joke. My manager was not supportive and argumentative.

Pros

Wonderful people, great networking opportunities and skills training for different roles. They have flexible options for time off outside of PTO. Their VTO comes in handy. Theirs options to switch a working day and make-up time with an off day and vice versa.

Cons

It's harder to move into a role outside of your department, but easy to move laterally within it.

Pros

Work from home and flexible scheduling, can slide schedule up to two hours to accommodate appointments, etc.

Cons

Unrealistic claim volume, it ramps up slowly when you're in training and then you start getting so many claims you don't know what to do with them. Customer service is constantly preached, but it's not possible to return voicemails, texts and emails timely while managing 20 claims a day. They keep increasing volume, and you have to spend a minimum of 5 hours a week taking live calls, during which you cannot make any calls out on your own claims, and are required to work each claim you take a call on to it's fullest point, even when they are brand new and unassigned, taking you away from taking action on your own claims that could prevent calls. They are incorporating AI and digital tools that were intended to simplify the process and reduce phone time, but customers are upset and refuse to participate, which means claims are delayed awaiting digital statements, and then need more phone calls anyway. The expectations are outrageous.
