Pros

Benefits from day 1, profit sharing, tuition reimbursement (but for industry related education only). Modest discount on insurance if you are also a customer. Job stability.

Cons

Attendance policy as rigorous as the military, pay is not stellar and profit sharing does not always make up for it, rigid work hours, little scheduling flexibility. Most positions above entry level are salaried, so no overtime opportunities. If you have a family and your child gets sick, better hope you have family in the area. If have less than 97% attendance on a rolling annual basis, you are not elligible for promotions, raises, and are put on an improvement plan. However much sick time you accrue, you can only use your vacation time for illness other than yourself. I have to work unpaid overtime at least 2-3 days week just to try not to get too far behind. If I was trying to stay 100% caught up i would work 50 hrs a week to do my job that im scheduled to do in 38.75 working hours. Pay is weak compared to similar jobs at other major employers, but the company constantly reminds its employees they get "profit sharing" every year based on company performance. If performance stinks, than you get nothing. Management is much better at telling the employees what they should do better than what they are doing well. Management is very good at demanding much more than is reasonably possible for 75% of its employees to achieve in terms of job performance.

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.
