Pros

Great Company Decent pay Gilbert location close to my home

Cons

No training structure at all. Abusive role play is the only training method. I had not had a chance to see the sales software, learn the Geico guidelines for insurance. But during the 1st to the last role play. I was constantly ridiculed, questioned, insulted, demeaned, humiliated and embarrassed in front of the entire 6 agent office about information, procedures I had not been taught or even presented with to learn. The most unprofessional Manager I have ever experienced. Jay Harris is an angry individual. I walked out after my 3rd week. You could not pay me enough money to be spoken to like that in any occupation

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

Interesting problems to work on. Good benefits. Decent pay.

Cons

Managers will gaslight you and upper leadership is constantly changing, so expect projects you're working on to be thrown out every 6 months. Many people burn out and quit after some time and are never back filled, so you'll be expected to take on their workload. Some of my colleagues were working 80 hour work weeks to keep up with the work load and yet told they were not performing well enough. There also wasn't much diversity.
