Avantages

Progressive has some great benefits like a 6%401k matching contribution, tuition reimbursement, and an amazing scheduling system to help with a work/life balance. This job is frustration because the systems are extremely outdated and they crash often. Customers are transferred and bounced around like ping pong balls and this frustration eventually gets taken out on you. A lot of programs aren't integrated. You are expected to upsell products you have 0 knowledge about (General liability) and customers will ask you questions about General liability, personal auto insurance, home owners, billing, claims, etc. You aren't trained on any of these and you end up looking incompetent to the caller. The pay is enough to keep you here, but it's not enough compensation to put up with for how often we get hollered at on the phone or how often system errors occur. You are not given software or knowledge adequate enough to successfully help the customers. As far as promotions, it's more about who you know, not what you know.

Inconvénients

Out of date computer systems that crash often or create glitches, lack of resources on how to handle gray areas created by unsuccessful integrations of programs, and other products.

Avantages

Work from home and flexible scheduling, can slide schedule up to two hours to accommodate appointments, etc.

Inconvénients

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.
