Pluspunten

Very good benefits, chance for advancement within the company (see con), chance to move to other departments within the company. Tuition reimbursement (after a year and if your rating is good)

Minpunten

Micro-management: you will be asked to explain why you take a bathroom break. Morale: if you're in claims you can expect to leave every day thinking you suck at your job because that's who they will make you feel. They focus on everything you do wrong and there is no recognition for anything done well or for improvements. Service - you will be told daily you need to get them off the phone faster and there isn't much room for advancement. Most people who go to claims from service end up going back to service. Sales - I have no experience with this but have been told if you aren't a top seller then you might as well accept you never will be because they don't offer you the chance to improve. Advancement - there is opportunity for advancement but it comes at a price, you will wait weeks - sometimes even months- to find out if you did/didn't get the position. They tell you training begins on one day and then when you show up for class they tell you its a been postponed but they don't know until when. Management - open door policy...this would be great if they actually did anything about the things you tell them need to be addressed. PTO - this is a great concept...if you know a month in advance you are going to be sick otherwise it goes against you and when it comes time for a raise or promotion you will have to explain each time you missed work without notice. Dependability - I know companies want their employees there when they are supposed to be but you don't plan to get in an accident, you don't plan to get sick, you don't plan for your child to be sick and you most certainly do not plan for the death of a loved one.... You can't always give 24 hours notice for missing work and when you do miss work you can expect to be told "You know this is going against your dependability, right?"

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

Really nothing major that I can think of!

Pluspunten

Interesting problems to work on. Good benefits. Decent pay.

Minpunten

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.
