Live in Pennsylvania? This Remote Job With Progressive Could Be for You

Do you have the inner Flo dwelling within you?

If you dream of being the perky Progressive spokeswoman, you could get one step closer without leaving your couch by becoming a customer service representative for Progressive Insurance.

To snag one of these full-time jobs working from home, you must live within 60 miles of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. (Here’s why companies restrict location for work-from-home jobs.) Previous contact center and remote work experience are preferred qualifications.

Progressive will provide you the virtual training and the equipment, but you’ll need to be physically connected to the Internet via a modem or cable — no wireless connection allowed.

The start dates are July 9, July 16 or July 30, with training from Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6:45 p.m. EST. Schedules come in six varieties, but all include working at least one weekend day.
