Pros

It's difficult to discuss pros, because a lot had been changing with the company during the couple years before I left. Many positives were becoming negatives as I made the decision to leave. Laid-back work environment. No one breathes down your neck. Breaks, lunch, etc. are very relaxed. The atmosphere promotes relaxed people, so you'll enjoy your coworkers and you'll make friends there. You can probably work at home. Pay and benefits are solid for the work you do. Paid training - they pay you to get your insurance license.

Cons

No more flexible scheduling, which Progressive used to be famous for. They now use performance-based scheduling, the outrageous unfairness of which is hard to comprehend. Although Progressive puts way less emphasis on numbers that certain other companies do, they still put too much emphasis on numbers, and not enough emphasis on the way you actually do your job and the ultimate bottom-line results of what you do. The company is way too modular, with different departments unwittingly working against each other.

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.
