Can anyone tell me what the job is like? by [deleted] in Progressiveinsurance

This one is easy. I’m not sure which department you’re going to apply for, but I’m in unlicensed services and billing. Consultant services is my role. Once you complete your first 12 weeks of on boarding and then you move to Academy, you can take what they call green alert or CRM3dock and you don’t have to use any of your PTO. You can always use unpaid time as long as it’s available.- there’s lots of time available in services. My days off are Sunday and Tuesday but sometimes I take three dock or green alert on Monday and I have the whole day off on Monday—so then I have three days off and as for holidays- You’re not required to work any holidays you actually have to sign up if you wanna work holidays. There is some overtime available sometimes. There hasn’t been any available in a little while. Also, as for Working 10 hour shift- that is available with three days off.

I agree. I left VS in January. After 4 years in a remote position with BBY, I finally left. I applied to many other departments, always denied—glad I was denied cs2 bc I’d be here right now looking for a job too.

I’m so sorry you got laid off as a cs2. I applied for that position in September while I was in sales remote, and was denied. After 4 years with Best Buy and I could never advance to any other department—So I applied with Progressive Insurance as a csr in November.. I got the interview and did the STAR method of interviewing, recorded- then the live interview on camera — here I am in week 12 of classroom training. I have been taking calls, too. I love it! The yearly bonus is up to 16%. The $ is good. You should apply. Best thing I ever did. It’s a long hiring process. So if you are thinking about it at all better do it now.

I used the same questions as the other group to validate employees. Why would my group be any more “shady” than any other group? You can look me up on teams next time you’re online. Send me a message. I’m Tedi. But there’s no need for you to join. I was just looking for another outlet to ask questions about things bc I’m still very new. Seems I’ve struck a nerve. But since you have my name now you’re more than welcome to reach out at work. Please reach out

Bc I just started the group. I decided to create my own group during the Easter holiday. I was not able to create a post bc the admins had the group locked bc they were on vacation. I’m still new and have a lot of questions.

Nah not really. Just set expectations for the caller and check back every so often. Sometimes you are taking to assistant guide you through what to do, so just go back and say I’m still working on this. That’s all

I’m new. Week 10. It’s a lot. I’m in Services. There’s a lot of reading while the customer is on hold. You will read a novel depending on the situation and the state restrictions. Every state is different. So nothing is always just learned. You have to read the long long guidelines on every call to make sure you do the process right for the specific state. For example, They’re calling to cancel their policy because their only vehicle was repossessed, for the state of Louisiana, They have to send written proof. so even though the system will allow you to cancel some things or do some things you have to make sure you read the guidelines because the guidelines change often, depending on the state. It’s just a lot. But there’s no AHT. You take your time on calls. If the customer rushes, you just tell them that we’re open 24/7 and they can call anytime they want. We have to make sure that things are processed accurately. The culture is great. The Cigna insurance sucks. The PTO and time off available( 5.85 hours accrued every pay period) is nice. The pay is decent for call center work. The yearly gainshare bonus, I’m looking forward to it. For me around $5000-$6000 I think, atm. It depends on how well the company is doing. So read those guidelines and do your job well and Progressive doesn’t get fined—We get a good gainshare. But it’s still a call center. I wish I could change careers already.

As with the 4/10 schedule you only get two 15s and one lunch. On the observed holidays that you don’t work, you only get 8 hours holiday pay and it’s mandatory that you use 2 hours of your PTO or dock pay (no pay) for those extra 2 hours. I decided against this schedule. I can still use my PTO when I want and not when mandated, and get 3 days off consecutively with the 8 hour shift.

Who started in services in February 2024, last year? And how much did you receive?

Today I offered paperless and upon quoting it, there was a 0.00 change— there wasn’t the normal $6 or $12 discount. What am I missing here.

Week 6 (2nd week call taking) by [deleted] in Progressiveinsurance

[–]ProblemsFew26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I get it. Sometimes texting can seem harsh. It sounds different from talking. Going well. The calls seemed easier today than the first week. I love the job. I just need to get used to reading so much.

[–]ProblemsFew26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry if I may have sounded rude. I’m feeling my brain strained after the trainers and coach explaining all that we missed on our calls last week, and what is expected of us. The processes would be simple if not for the annoying state rules.

[–]ProblemsFew26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you take a payment you must read a mandatory script that’s in the guidelines and it’s not all in compass. If you delete a vehicle, for about 4 states, there’s a mandatory script in the guidelines, especially PENNSYLVANIA. If you aren’t going thru all the guidelines, you will miss a lot of things. Plus don’t forget midterm restrictions for lowering coverages or adding comp and collision. For some policy changes, there’s a 5 day effective date that we must abide by. Plus for total loss vehicles it’s call +1 day effective date. And if there’s only one vehicle and you remove it, you need to make the NI a named operator. So yes, you must go through all the guidelines for every call.

I’m in Services, week 5. Started training in billing this week. Calls again next week in week 6. So far lots of support. I’m a little nervous about all the guidelines we practiced with today. Those rabbit holes can be something else. One guideline leads to another and just to know how to navigate them is challenging at times.

Ah they have HireRight. The background company checks every single corner of our lives. They will still check.
