Pros

Geico has good benefits and a good chance of getting promoted if you want to go to college

Cons

Monitoring all the time, esp in sales, service and claims. Mgt never acknowledges a job well done but is quick to criticize. Associates goals are very high and there is no way to meet the goads as Mgt is continuously taking the associates away from their desk by making the associates go to classes--many of them are not even needed, take call center calls even though the associate does not work in the call center or have associates from different depts sit with you for an hour or two just for you to explain your job to them which is a waste of time for all involved. Geico also uses the cafeteria as a meeting room for all kinds of things so there is not enough room for employees to eat in the cafeteria.

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.
