Pros

+ awesome coworkers + ok pay + profit sharing

Cons

- the claims department is being run by the most incompetent manager who ever lived - anyone with a college degree can become a manager; it doesn't matter how socially awkward, absent-minded, or outright useless you are; if you are power-hungry and love abusing authority, you should apply for a department manager position at geico because they will hire you - back to back phone calls all day - not allowed to use call wrap-up time to finish documenting/fixing a claim - you are not allowed to take a few min off the phone to go use the bathroom - your supervisor can do whatever they want, right or wrong, and management will tell you to deal with it - when customers ask to speak to a supervisor, you will have one heck of a time finding a supervisor who will agree to take the call - you will leave work every day wondering why the heck you are working in such a mentally-taxing environment - you are chained to the phone all day, with the exception of lunch and breaks - HOWEVER, your supervisor will hint that you need to work your diary through your lunch to catch up but the thing is that you will not be paid for it - they offer benefits but be prepared to pay a boatload for them - geico makes me hate my life every single day - supervisors are very vocal about how they feel about politics, people, and about you; be prepared to deal with blatant racism and being belittled if you are a non-white, non-republican - your coworkers are miserable too and you will see people just throw off their headset and walk out on a daily basis, never to return

Pros

Decent pay and remote work.

Cons

Poor management at all levels, and high turnover in the IT department. Profit sharing was initially offered when I started in 2013 but disappeared after covid. Management laid off most of the IT staff that had the technical and insurance knowledge in favor of bringing in new staff to transition GEICO into a tech company. Not sure what the status of the IT department is in 2026.
