Pros

- Profit Sharing (Each year...we calculate rate of growth and its distributed as an annual bonus to your 401K as well as a cash payout. The average is around 20%. Take your salary...take 20% or whatever the magic number is...and thats the bonus. The first 10% goes into your 401K...the rest comes to you (after Uncle Sam) in a check) - Job Stability...people will always need insurance. GEICO never lays people off...you may get fired though :-).

Cons

- Old fashioned (We're one of those companies that doesn't change things since this is the way things have always been done) - Aesthetically challenged (We have had issues with rodents due to construction taking place nearby)

Pros

Organized in the hiring and training process

Cons

They cared more about output and getting results than the understanding of all the knowledge they cram into us. In addition, we were in training/orientation with mostly supervisor candidates. Meaning, first, there were so many people that did things in vastly different ways which created confusion on expectations and overall objectives of the job. Secondly, it meant that those candidates were finding their footing and being evaluated just as harshly (if not more) than new hires, creating pressure that boiled over to almost every individual on a team.
