Pros

While working at Progressive, I met some really great people. When I first started, everyone was so welcoming. I felt like I was apart of an extended family. The salary is very competitive - so you're more inclined to complete the work.

Cons

When you're getting 9/8 claims a day, it can be stressful. Especially, when you're handling all aspects of the claim: coverage, liability, repairs etc. Then its the nature of the claim itself: complexity. Whereas in CCU, they don't handle complex claims. If you're a 4:30 rep, and get assigned a claim at 3:57 (intersection), the expectation is that claim needs to be worked thoroughly before you leave. Its no surprise, Progressive has grown rapidly in the last 3yrs. So had resulted in a increased workload. However, not everyone took to that workload lightly. Management was telling the best of the best, if you can't handle it, maybe this isn't the job for you! I WAS SHOCKED. They were telling this, to the same reps that were driving their metrics. All in all, workplace morale is at an all-time low. Nobody wants to be or work in the office.

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.
