Pros

If I would have to say anything was a benefit it would be the Benefits, however the pay is nice but not for the area. Cafeteria options were great!

Cons

Downsides to working at Geico (fredericksburg): All your time has to be accounted for, need to use the bathroom? you have to ask for permission to clock out of the phone. Have work to do as soon as you get in, sorry but you have to wait for downtime, which is hard to come by if you work in Auto Claims like I did. Kids sick or need to be picked up? Don't think about it, it will count against you (dependability). Can't reach your supervisor if you need to call out? They'll fire you anyways if you left a message because you cant reach any supervisor because of your hours and no phone list. Get an "A" call that Tony Nicely (CEO) is listening in on wont save you either.

Pros

GEICO is one of the largest employers in my smaller town, so I've heard all the good, the bad, and the ugly. What a pleasant surprise it's been working here! There is so much intentional change to create a great employee experience and get the right team leaders in place. Highly recommend not putting too much weight into older negative comments if you're thinking about applying. I've been very happy with my salary, the benefits/time off, culture, and leadership (both locally and senior leaders). I feel like there's a lot of room to continue to grow my career here and I see the same opportunities for others.

Cons

Really nothing major that I can think of!

Pros

Strong opportunities for career growth Many people are willing to mentor and support others without expecting anything in return Supportive culture, even from people who may not know you personally Increased focus on education and development, especially for leaders More company activities at the local office, which has been a welcome change Fun associate engagement opportunities like escape rooms, art activities, games, and food events So many opportunities for recognition

Cons

There are still some areas where the company appears to be rebuilding trust and confidence Change is noticeable and appreciated, but some improvements are still in progress Feedback has clearly helped shape recent changes, and it will be good to see that progress continue
