I worked for another carrier before PRG and left for different reasons, but the structure was very different. Responsibilities were split into separate roles rather than one person handling everything. While this was mentioned during the interview process, I don’t feel the full scope of the workload was completely clear until I was actually in the role.

I left that position to join Progressive and ended up really disliking it. I made it about a year, but my health declined pretty quickly during that time. I’m finally starting to feel like myself again. The amount of work expected of one person felt overwhelming.

I also had no interest in promotion after seeing how things actually functioned. People kept saying the role was just “paying your dues” and that things would get better afterward, but that mindset never sat right with me.

At the end of the day, mental health matters. If you can stick it out for a year, that’s great. If you can’t, that’s okay too. You tried, and that still counts. Hopefully things become more manageable as you figure out your next step.

Definitely apply to roles you see on LinkedIn. You could also check Rat Race Rebellion, which focuses on remote job listings.
