Pros

Paid training (though it is low). If you have a college degree you have potential to move up (more opportunities if you are willing to relocate).

Cons

Geico doesn't know how to treat their hard working employees. You are overworked and underpaid. The job takes a 1-2 years to fully understand and do well; management knows this but will still talk down to you for asking questions/ making mistakes. I had multiple instances where I went to my supervisor for advice on a claim. She would give me advice but it would be the incorrect advice. I would find out that I had done the wrong thing during my audit. Even after noting my claim that I had confirmed my actions with my supervisor, my supervisor would still fail me on the audit. It didn't make sense at all. If you go to your supervisor for advice you expect the correct answer. It was extremely frustrating. After speaking with my supervisor about the situation the same thing kept happening. Geico expects you to work hard, as any company would, but there is a difference between working hard and overworking. Working from 730am-700pm Mon-Fri for mediocre pay isn't work 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

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.
