Pros

Good benefits, very accepting of everyone

Cons

Too much stress, this job has done so much damage to my mental health that I’ve had to go on medical leave multiple times. They make it too difficult to get off the phones and into better positions. I’ve been here four years and very few of my coworkers have managers to get out of call-taking roles. They allow customers to be abusive and don’t give us time to calm down after a tough call, you’re expecting to be right back on the phone taking back to back phone calls. God forbid you’re not feeling well and need to take an extra 10 minute break, it’ll be mentioned during coaching. You could be doing your job perfectly and they will push you to come up with an area for growth to focus on in coaching, even if you don’t feel like there is any need for that. The company once asked us all for recommendations on what they could do to make us more fulfilled, of course we asked for more time between calls, more PTO, better pay, more opportunities, etc. Progressive came back to us on that by explaining that they aren’t making any changes because they are currently doing enough to meet our needs. They really don’t care about the people in the call center roles.

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.
