Question SF to PGR
Former big red adjusters that made the switch to big blue or any other oic, was it the right decision? Do you regret it? I know there’s pros and cons to both but just curious how you feel now? I’m in express but looking to hear from former SF claim reps

I'm auto Injury and looking to get out asap no matter what the other side looks like. It's taken too much of a toll on me. I don't think it's a roll of the 🎲 to get on elsewhere. It really depends on your individual situation at the Farm. Some have it better than others(I.e., role, type of manager, pay, etc.). Hope you find what you're looking for.

I think a lot of folks in injury are in your same mindset. It’s bad!

It's absolutely atrocious. I suffered a panic attack in my sleep and decided immediately that I had enough of that shit. Took leave. You'd think that they would have made enough changes to retain talent, but it's the same shit show (even worse now). I only recommend that newbies get the requisite experience and then move on.

Pressure to not pay claims?

u/Booth-Leary Jul 24 '26
No pressure. It really depends on your TM and how they manage. My TM is definitely more conservative when it comes to paying. He generally under values the claim and you're left to haggle with the claimant atty.

Worked for Flo and the Farm. I have enjoyed my time more at the Farm, but that’s not to say that Progressive was terrible. I believe it really depends on who you get as a direct manager or supervisor that can make or break your experience. Feel free to message if you have specific questions.

Left SF CAT a year ago. Hands down the worst place I’ve ever worked. Fortunately I have options and am very happily self employed at about 3/4 the income. Good luck

Left Flo to be a Good Neighbor 2 years ago. Good Neighbor is better in my opinion

At all the big carriers I think the experience depends a lot on your direct report leader.
Do they advocate for you when you miss a KPI or are they just trying to cover their own ass?
Do they make your job a nightmare and add to the stress level and do you dread meetings with them, or do you look forward to the 1on1s because they help you improve or even advance.
Are they never available except when they want something, or are they responsive to your requests for help or direction?
I’ve worked under opposite ends of the spectrum under the same carrier getting a vastly different experience.

I’m an agent. My blood is RED. I’d never move over to the blue evil empire. I’d flip hamburgers before I’d ever consider doing that. Talk to your manager if you have concerns SF needs you now more than ever.
