I am trying to copy large amounts of data using SSH so all I have is the CLI. I am using the cp -a /source/* /dest/ method but I can't tell how fast it is copying or what the progress is. Is there anything I can add to this command to see this info?

I'd suggesting using rsync instead:

rsync -aP /source/* /dest/

It's the P argument here doing most of the magic. It should show you an accurate enough progress report for each file.
