Pros

Nice building, great break room and overall the employees, and the shifts are great too.

Cons

When they hire you they blow this smoke screen that they want you to succeed and want you to be able to make numbers. The goals are nearly impossible unless you are one the companies favorites. If you do not follow exactly what they want you to say then you will not be successful in the company. Upper management seem nice to you until you get your insurance license then you are just a number in the call center. Overall, you can not treat people like meat because you will be losing your best talent to other companies.

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.
