Pros

Local managers were great.

Cons

Worse experience ever with H.R. during hiring process. You are told you have to be able to travel for 3 months. What they don't tell you is they put you through a training process that is absolutely ridiculous. If you don't keep an 85 percent you get fired. Over a 3rd of our class failed. You go through 8-5 classes and then have to study 3-5 hours every night to try to pass. This wasn't just me this was everyone in the training class. The trainers talk down to you and treat you like dirt. The worse part is the training is over the top with a bunch of things you will never need to do the job. There is a reason they are always hiring. They also pay very poorly and put you in horrible hotels.

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.
