Pros

Encourage team work and working in groups to make friends with co workers. Always having parties and fun games during the day but there is never anytime to enjoy them. Cafeteria onsite,mailbox,bank (because you have no time to go out for lunch)

Cons

Extremely strict security. If there is a line at the door to swipe in you have to wait in line and it can make you late. Cannot be 1 minute late. Penalize you for taking sick time. You must be 98% reliable. Someone must always answer the phone. Must return calls within 2 hours regardless if you are stuck on the phone with other calls or you will get audited and penalized. Extreme favortism with company policies. Do not allow you to speak your voice if you disagree with management decision. Unreasonable work load for number of employees on hand. Very stressful after hours thinking about it. Cannot take a day off otherwise will fall behind and eventually fired. no internet usage and you can't even plug anything into a socket.Management is so worried about saving their own butt they do not stick up for their employees

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.
