Pros

They hire you quickly and then you're on your way to a very nice environment

Cons

Progressive needs a better policy on sick time. They're benefits are horrid. You don't get any paid or sick time. You have to use ETB all the time. 5 hours you eran every two weeks. They lie to you in training and tell you that they don't need doctors notes, but then they ask for one when you're sick. They asked me about my person health information after I returned to work sick then fired me because I refused to discuss it. People have been working there for 25 years and still are customer service reps. There is no room for growth. They will tell you that the starting pay can only go up to 14.75! That was a lie. There were people in my class making 17.00 an hour. While i made 14.50 and had far more experience than them!

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.
