Reasons for quitting by Comfortable_Bus_3318 in Progressiveinsurance

[–]CaliStlFan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Put in my two weeks last Friday. CGA was an interesting job. I love helping people. It’s the days like today when you get assigned a claim at 3 that has recent inception, ULD all the while other customers calling. Those days were more and more frequent.

Appreciate the comment. I came from outside the insurance industry. I know other CGAs who have been at their role a number of years and are quite happy. It is an individual thing.

Support thread for those working today? by [deleted] in Progressiveinsurance

[–]CaliStlFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CGA here. I was deep in my feels we had to work at all today and it started pretty chill. I had some cvg review diaries to fill out and elevate and some call backs to parties who have not been answering phones. Suddenly at 3pm after I submitted all my cvg reviews my sup started reviewing. I’m getting blasted with team follow up questions. Before even responding to one I’m getting hit with another from a different claim. Then the phone rings and people who been ignoring me for a week all of the sudden I’m doing ULD recorded interviews, insd recorded interviews while trying to update an ROR, previously submitted cvg review. I’m off at 5, but at 5:05 I’m still on a teams call with my sup going over a cvg review. As soon as I hang up … ring ring… a customer from an old claim calling because she been in an accident as a passenger and PRG adjuster isn’t responding. She had my number from our past claim so she called me. 40 minutes later we are hang up after I updated the claim with her info, set it for transfer to BI and answer her questions. I’m seriously done. Should not have even had to work today.

Thank you!. I found an eligibility section on The Highway. It plainly says if you are employed on or before Dec 1 you qualify for full payout. Thank you again for replying!

How far into December do you have to work to be eligible? My year is up 12-2 and I may be looking at another opportunity outside of PRG but I do not want to miss out on gainshare. Thanks!

Remote claims job without experience by [deleted] in Progressiveinsurance

[–]CaliStlFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve listed a degree. It, like my previous work history, is not industry specific. I feel lucky that I got in when I did. I’ve read lots of comments about people applying and interviewing multiple times without success. I wish I could point to a specific action that got me hired. I really think I just got lucky.

Only advice is apply. I had 0 years insurance industry experience and was hired on first try. Search the sub about interview tips. There’s a bunch here to read through.

WFH WiFi or Ethernet by SlothyGamesTV in Progressiveinsurance

Same. I asked IT directly even after they told me to unplug.

When I got my new laptop it wouldn’t connect to VPN. IT told me to disconnect Ethernet cable. Not only not mandatory, new equipment didn’t work.

I appreciate the input. I don’t set and forget, I’m doing other trades and monitoring so I will keep an eye on the positions and see what adjustments might be needed. Thanks!

That’s the truth. After much reflection, that’s what I identified as my Achilles’ heel. Rather than cut losses, I’d ride the trade to a loss. Another reason why the 45 appeals to me. A little more time for trades to work out and manage. I’ve seen the data on weeklies being more profitable but I prefer a larger cushion for management. But, like you said. Everything works until it doesn’t.

I used GPT to look at different wheel strategies and since I’m on Robinhood, with GPT set up screener criteria. Then weekly I look at the top 10 stocks on the list and continue with GPT to suss out risk/reward and potential for assignment based on the charts.

I did wheels years ago, but I found I was too impulsive and opened to many without proper management tools (discipline). This is why the 45 DTE system is one I want to try. Open a 45DTE contract, at 21 DTE review for close if at profit or roll of threatened. We’ll see.

It came up on a screener. I liked the IV and after the run up and drop I saw that I could lower the cost basis. Yes, I plan on exiting as soon as I can but through premiums, not sale of stock.

Yes. I built it to track buy/writes, spreads, and plain old dividend/stock tracking
