Pros

Co-workers are pretty helpful and friendly. You are constantly busy so at least there's no boredom. The workload is large but is sometimes manageable. Progressive itself is a pretty good company with good ethics.

Cons

Customers. They are demanding and annoying and expect things to be done immediately and are definitely the worst part of the job. The pay is low compared to the area and workload. Supervisors and management micromanage. Everything is monitored and tracked and you get progress reports and write ups for things that are sometimes out of your control. Benefits are ok. Insurance is through Aetna. Insurance is cheap but the coverage is not the best, especially for some prescriptions. There's only 17 days available per year. That's for holidays and sick days and any days off. It's a hassle setting up time off because you are responsible for finding people who can follow up your work. And you come back with a backlog but there's not enough time given to catch up. Workload can become overwhelming. Monday to Friday typically gets 3 new claims per day. Saturdays have 5 new claims. Working Saturdays means you get 5 new claims but do not really have time to work on the rest of the week's work. Then you get back in the office on Tuesday and have to do Tuesday's work and catch up on everything from the weekend (so usually like 20 voicemails and 20 back claims). So you end up with a backlog on Wednesday but there's still new work on Wednesday. So really the best days are Thursday and Friday.

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.
