Pros

Co-workers are pretty helpful and friendly. You are constantly busy so at least there's no boredom. The workload is large but is sometimes manageable. Progressive itself is a pretty good company with good ethics.

Cons

Customers. They are demanding and annoying and expect things to be done immediately and are definitely the worst part of the job. The pay is low compared to the area and workload. Supervisors and management micromanage. Everything is monitored and tracked and you get progress reports and write ups for things that are sometimes out of your control. Benefits are ok. Insurance is through Aetna. Insurance is cheap but the coverage is not the best, especially for some prescriptions. There's only 17 days available per year. That's for holidays and sick days and any days off. It's a hassle setting up time off because you are responsible for finding people who can follow up your work. And you come back with a backlog but there's not enough time given to catch up. Workload can become overwhelming. Monday to Friday typically gets 3 new claims per day. Saturdays have 5 new claims. Working Saturdays means you get 5 new claims but do not really have time to work on the rest of the week's work. Then you get back in the office on Tuesday and have to do Tuesday's work and catch up on everything from the weekend (so usually like 20 voicemails and 20 back claims). So you end up with a backlog on Wednesday but there's still new work on Wednesday. So really the best days are Thursday and Friday.

Pros

Good to learn and grow knowledge

Cons

This pandemic certainly changed my mind. Their bottom dollar was more important then the people who bring it with both customers and employees. Minimal support given to employees having to advance their own earned time if needing off. Being we were over 500 employees we didnt qualify for paid FMLA through cares act and this was the best they could do for a very minimal period. Now the demand to catch up on lost profits are landing on very stressed employees on the verge of loosing their jobs being demanded higher stats and having to take occurances. But you know single moms just have to deal with it. Not only this I've seen customers rates practically doubling on renewals just for getting 1 ticket. Why? So they can make up for the entire year of loss they took giving free insurance to people who took advantage of the programs given out like candy. Ask how many getting their premiums pushed off and then forgiven bought and added new cars and added them to the "Free" months and months they recieved. SMH. Employees are suffering and stressed with no real help while being abused by customers and now having to deal with unrealistic demands to increase sales with homeowners during a pandemic. Good luck I will be looking for a new home.

Pros

Progressive is highly known for it's pay, and after working there, it is fairly competitive with other similar companies. They have mini "club" type programs that support things like diversity and mental health. That, and the ability to work from home (or virtual) doesn't hurt either. Their open-door policy feels good to have as well.

Cons

They aren't as "progressive" as they claim. The systems that they use are borderline archaic (they use 3 different software for time tracking...), they don't give you sick time unless you're in a state that forces them to (including COVID-related sickness), a good majority of the supervisors don't really care about you or your success (they are basically tenured and collecting a paycheck at that point), and don't even get me started on the "blended" role. My advice to those of you reading this, if you get hired at progressive as service or sales and they try to convince you to go blended, don't do it. It's a position with a LOT more work for literally no more pay in which they convince you to try because "it will help with your career advancement" and "it'll help diversify the every day task"... right. All it'll do is give you a lot more work and the ability for management to involuntarily volunteer you to do even MORE work when something happens (like COVID, in which we were volunteered to take over the job of another team that makes at least $4+ more/hr than you for only a $1/hr bump.)
