It starts out with the application followed by an intensive assessment test. About 1-2 weeks later you receive an email to set up a phone interview. About a week later you do the phone interview. The level of difficulty depends on what recruiter you get. I had one from Colorado who was a total grump, then one from Florida who was awesome. I was offered a personal interview during the phone call. About 1-2 weeks later you have 2 face to face interviews and a shadowing where you sit with a rep and listen to their phone calls. Takes about 3-4 hours. I waited for nearly 45 minutes before somebody came out and got me for my interview. I received a call about 4 hours later that I got the job. From there I had to submit a background check. It was very intensive. I had to fax numerous documents often over and over again. This went on for about a month. Nobody ever got back to me so I showed up for my first day like my recruiter told me to only to be escorted out because my background check was never submitted. (I had already quit my job at this point) Another month later, I received an email from the recruiter telling me that they need the documents that I sent in to finish my background check. I told her I already submitted them a month prior. Then it turned it, it was a mistake on Progressives end and it was just a matter of submitting the background check. I was delayed 2 more months because there was no training classes. (Unemployed I remind you) finally, I got a call that I was to start work but I had to work the night shift because the original shift that I applied for was no longer available. The whole process was a complete nightmare chalked full of mistakes. The whole thing took 4 months from applying to starting.
Name a time you had to deal with a difficult customer. (They ask a total of around 20 scenario questions, most of which were repeats of the same questions.)

I submitted my application and then got invited to complete a HireVue interview. It was about eight questions, all requiring STAR style responses. After I finished the interview, I received a rejection email. I honestly hate when companies play in people’s faces like this. What was the point of making me do an online interview if you already decided based on my resume? If you weren’t interested from the start, just say that. I have very little respect for companies that reject people through recorded online interviews, without ever allowing them to speak to a real person. It feels less like recruiting and more like a way to collect personal data our voices, our faces, without any real intention of moving forward.

Recruiter was rude, emailed me an hour before my interview and asked if I was available right now. I quickly responded and said that I could be ready in 20 mins sighting that our original interview was not for another hour. Upon the interview he made a comment about not being able to drop everything and start the interview an hour early. I had inquired about a religion question and holidays that differ from normal US holidays and he said yeah that wouldn't really align with our values. I should have sued. He sighted on my after interview report that I didn't have the experience he was looking for (which was a lie).

Straight forward typical call center interview. Initial interview was a phone screening where the recruiter asked for a background description of my resume. Two days later I interviewed with a supervisor and hiring manager. Entire process took about 2 weeks to receive job offer.
