Pros

Your co-workers are the only component that keeps you sane with this job. Working from home is iffy, and the only time management really grants you permission is during inclement weather.

Cons

To sound like a broken record, the generalist (or if under 6 months trainee) position consists of high volume, high stress, long hours (8-10), rude customers/attorneys/medical providers (BCBS, Kaiser, etc). It does not matter which local office, that is the nature of the job. The company loves to celebrate diversity and inclusion, but in my office, diversity would mean wearing your favorite sports team which is of course, asinine. Career advancement is placed on, for the most part, how much management likes you (and nepotism) rather than your actual execution of the work. Granted, while it does play a part, management will go with "likeability" rather than compatibility. Definitely a glass ceiling for minorities- not so much white women. The pay is alright, the benefits are awful. I would go as uninsured to an urgent care because it was cheaper than paying what the health insurance would cover (typically $20) even with the low deductible plan. For the most part, you have to go through many hoops to ask for time off. In all, I am baffled that they continue to win many "Best Workplace" awards. Then again, like the billions they spend on advertising it wouldn't be surprising if it was smoke and mirrors.

Pros

Pay, dress code. Work from home.

Cons

1. The workload is brutal 2. Too many exposures per rep means we don’t get the time we need for each claim. 3. Managers say one thing, sups say another. 4. IT is centralized and slow 5. Customers are rather rude and don’t understand their policies

Pros

Medical insurance is on point

Cons

Current Progressive employee. I warn anyone who considers getting a job for this company. The pay is mediocre, the vacation/sick time laughable and the expectations and work load insurmountable. Do you want to be a modern day slave putting in 12-15 hours a day for a company that could care less about a work life balance? I am in no way exaggerating when I say that working overtime without pay is a requirement of this job. Want to leave at 5pm but the constant ringing of your phone for both your own and the entire companies work list hasnt relented so you were unable to conquer your laundry list of priorities. Get ready for the side eye and extreme guilt laid upon you for attempting to take care of yourself. This company in no way cares you you little slave— you cant volunteer unless its a weekend, theyll cancel employee events if they think theres too much work, and require you to “volunteer” your Saturdays to work even more. Run away fast from this hell on earth.
