Q&A With Progressive Insurance Employees
Trust us, we've heard it. Many of us have said it. But then we got here and were pleasantly surprised. Progressive is more than you'd expect from an insurance company. There's a reason that we're a Fortune 200 company and why we've been named one of the best places to work in our major locations. With our progressive culture, diversity, employee benefits, military support, and one of the largest contemporary art collections in the country, it's just different here. And we think that's a good thing. We work hard and are rewarded for it. If you have drive, passion, creativity, and a desire to help people, Progressive could be a place where you grow and thrive.

They ask behavioral questions
Depends on the department you are interviewing for. Generally they will ask you do answer in a STAR format (situation/task action result). For example: We were having an issue cross selling for home owners. I suggested a bingo game for "answers for not needing homeowners insurance" to get CSRs asking customers. We had daily and weekly prizes for bingo. Once this was in place we saw a 200% increase in upsell attempts and 84% increase in homeowners cross sales" This is not a real scenario but you can follow along and see the situation/task, action, result. Add in as many numbers as you can and try to make the result as finite as you can.
