Pros

No commute. Personally I'm there because it's located close to my home and outside DC. The benefits are good but they only give you 3 days sick leave.

Cons

You have to take FMLA anytime you need off for being sick or if your kids are sick. The dependability requirement is very hard to maintain because they only give you 3 days sick leave and this leave does not include having to take off if your kids are sick. Phone reps are scored on whats called A calls. This includes Customer interaction and Quality. The calls are monitored by other employees who know you. This is not anonymous. So if you don't have a good relationship with the people monitoring your calls there is a way they can sabotage you. It's very corrupt even when they say they are not there is no way to prove it.

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

Strong opportunities for career growth Many people are willing to mentor and support others without expecting anything in return Supportive culture, even from people who may not know you personally Increased focus on education and development, especially for leaders More company activities at the local office, which has been a welcome change Fun associate engagement opportunities like escape rooms, art activities, games, and food events So many opportunities for recognition

Cons

There are still some areas where the company appears to be rebuilding trust and confidence Change is noticeable and appreciated, but some improvements are still in progress Feedback has clearly helped shape recent changes, and it will be good to see that progress continue
