We know you’ve seen memes based on GEICO commercials, but Ellis from our Marketing department got his start as a meme in his own right. After his reaction during a huge wrestling match made the rounds on Twitter, Ellis found himself enthralled in the world of social media marketing. One thing led to another and now he’s the one calling the shots for GEICO – in fewer than 240 characters at a time. #CareersUnexpected

Pros
Geico is overall a good company. If you work hard, you will be rewarded in the form of raises, more favorable shifts, and promotions. At the entry level, each supervisor is assigned to about 9 employees, so you can have more individualized attention. With that being said, there are also sup's all over the floor so if yours is busy, another is happy to help. The environment is friendly, often having parties and contests to boost office morale. Pay is good, benefits are excellent
Cons
Very micro managed, very strict metrics (but everything is layed out in front of you so its not unexpected) some unfavorable shifts. Not a lot of work/life balance, you clock in and go go go until you clock out, can be stressful.

Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage InterviewGEICO 2018-05-18 12:16 PDTApplication
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at GEICO.
Interview
I applied online and then there was a phone call with a recruiter for about 45 minutes. Then I got invited to the office to do the rest of the process all in one day. It consisted of two online computer assessments; one was about your personality and solving patterns and the second was more of a simulation giving you a glimpse of what you would do doing in the job. Then, I had another interview with the recruiter which was more in depth than the phone interview. Then, I moved on to the role play which was a bit challenging, but I am sure it is meant to induce a little stress to see how you react. Next I got to shadow an employee and see what exactly the day to day of the job entails. Finally, there was a final interview with a manager and a supervisor.
Interview Questions
- Phone Interview: basic questions about yourself, what leadership roles you have taken, and one or two behavioral questions
First In Person Interview: more about your experience, how you would handle certain situations, more behavioral questions
Final Interview: why Gieco/insurance? , why MDP?, how would you motive your team members? , what if you knew someone wasnt preforming at their potential/reaching the goal that is set for them? , etc. Answer Question
- Phone Interview: basic questions about yourself, what leadership roles you have taken, and one or two behavioral questions
