Pros

Casual environment, very little is expected of you, no pressure, and if you don't let people get to you then you won't be bringing any negativity home with you.

Cons

Supervisors become unaware of the job expectations as they are not required to take calls -- I have been given misinformation and then later scolded for it. Additionally, I took this job in the call center because I couldn't seem to get an interview anywhere else within the company. The gentleman who interviewed me told me I wouldn't be there long as my qualifications would lead to internal promotions within the year - wrong. My supervisor refuses to advise me on moving up, stating that I am not meeting the expectations of the job I currently have. Just because I cannot meet specific metrics in this job does not mean I wouldn't excel at other positions within the company. Heres the thing though: I am trying. I do everything I've been coached, I make an effort in every call, and there's really no criticism you can give if I AM TRYING. and my metrics are still bad. I don't even know how to reach out to about moving up, and I am getting frustrated and discouraged.

Pros

Progressive offers this thing called Gainshare where if the company performs well then you get a type of bonus around Christmas time that is typically 8% of whatever you made that year. This is really the only reason most people stay with the company.

Cons

They claim to be customer service but everything is really sales. They don't honestly care about the employees or the customers at this point. They state that they want you to shove Renters Insurance policies down the throats of customers that can barely afford their auto insurance because they care about building relationships and making sure the customer is fully covered, but they enforce using scare tactics to sell and asking multiple times even if the customer has turned you down. The keep upping the numbers you have to hit while increasing the consequences if you don't on an incredibly rapid basis. It's incredibly easy to go to an employee who is used as an example and coach to one who is fighting to keep up with the changes and hold on to your job.
