Pros

- High salary - Executive bonus

Cons

Geico is a complete dumpster fire of a company. Ever since Todd Combs took there has been a constant turnover in executives and corporate priorities. The massive layoffs in 2022 and 2023 killed what was once a good culture. Those employees that remained are apprehensive of new leadership and will doing anything in their power to undermine any sort of transformation. I had a junior team member come into my office after one week to tell me how bad the culture is. Legacy processes and systems continue to stifle growth but the business cannot figure out a way forward as they keep changing leadership. During my tenure I saw multiple projects get started only to spend millions of dollars before killing them as another executive came into power. This has driven morale to a complete bottom; you could hear a pin drop at our Christmas party as no one trusts each other. The high salary is not worth the utter misery of working there. You will likely just get let go after a few months as your new executive will bring in their own team.

Pros

Organized in the hiring and training process

Cons

They cared more about output and getting results than the understanding of all the knowledge they cram into us. In addition, we were in training/orientation with mostly supervisor candidates. Meaning, first, there were so many people that did things in vastly different ways which created confusion on expectations and overall objectives of the job. Secondly, it meant that those candidates were finding their footing and being evaluated just as harshly (if not more) than new hires, creating pressure that boiled over to almost every individual on a team.
