Pros

Pre WFH culture was good selling point. Most managers are accommodating to personal time. Good ETB bank.

Cons

Promotion process is murky. Been to 3 areas in the company working on the same goal to get promoted. The reason to get promoted is because we need to get to the next payscale so our pay can grow at a 3% adjusted for inflation rate. When you reach the midpoint of the payscale the annual pay increments is less than the 3%. This makes it not worth it to put in extra effort for a better pay. The whole promotion process is as though we are pitted against each other to try to outshine each other. This is like getting ready for an interview that you cannot represent yourself but depends on the manager to fight for you. IT would be better to leave this company to get to the next level than to stick around.

Pros

Best company I have ever worked for.

Cons

Can't think of any. Working remotely gets lonely at times but that's not Progressive's fault.

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.
