Progressive to Hire More Than 100 People in Austin by End of Q3

Progressive Insurance announced it is looking to fill 101 new positions in sales, service, and claims at its Austin contact center by the end of September. In May, Progressive announced it was hiring 65 phone representatives in Austin.

New hires will sell policies, answer customer questions, and help customers file claims after car accidents. Many open positions call for bilingual reps fluent in both English and Spanish. Jobs require a minimum of two years’ post-secondary education or two years’ work experience in a customer-service environment.

All positions offer paid training, which can be particularly appealing to candidates looking to begin new careers as licensed insurance representatives.

Some positions offer flexible scheduling options, such as the opportunity to work four, 10-hour days with three days off instead of a typical five-day work week.
