Pros

I'm going to say a lot of negative things about Progressive, but understand this: Progressive is a GREAT company. Pay, benefits, culture you name it. During the 4 years I worked as an adjuster, my opinions were always listened to, my ideas were sometimes implemented. I was promoted, got a bigger cubicle, and eventually went to working from home. Progressive will invest a lot of time and effort training you and treating you well. They really trust you and give you a lot of independence. Leaving hurt, but I had to do it for my mental health.

Cons

The company has been growing too quickly for the past two years, and has not staffed up to meet that. When I started, the job would be 35 hours a week in the slow times, and 50 hours a week during the busy times of year, and 40 hours most of the time. Its gotten to the point where everyone is always in the office, often late at night and on Saturdays. When you do that for a couple of years in a salaried position, you eventually feel taken advantage of. I think burnout is widespread in a lot of departments in the company. And if you ever get tired of handling claims, you don't have a lot of internal options, as unless you move to corporate HQ, claims is all there is.

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.
