I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Progressive Insurance in Oct 2023
Interview
I did not like my experience with progress Human resources was not clear with me during the offer process. The recruiter initially stated that the training will be for 6 months. Also stated that I will get my license and there will be a training for it. It sound great because it was a long training and you get a trainer to teach you the testing requirements. In reality training is not 6 months and only two weeks for the licensing. They should be more clear with people. I was definitely lied to and deceived.
