Pros

Good pay, great benefits, and overall, nice co-workers (not management).

Cons

Very depressing atmosphere, despite the "benefits" they hammer into you during training. Call monitoring is random and promotions are based on those randomly selected calls. Some of the mistakes you'll make aren't even taught in training, and when you make a certain amount of these minor mistakes, you start making less money than your peers who make the same, if not more, mistakes as you. Everything is randomized and the hours are awful. This is a typical drone job.

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.
