Pros

Profit Sharing Bonus. 401k with matching options.

Cons

Every single person I have spoken with that has worked here, described it as a terrible experience. You accrue 2 weeks vacation each year...good luck getting time to use it!! God forbid you are sick, as any time missed is counted against your 'dependability' rating. They will MICRO MANAGE the mess out of you, even the minutes you use to go to the rest room (i'm completely serious). GEICO has a habit of building call centers in these middle of nowhere towns, so that they can intimidate people into working there. Where else can you find another job that's above minimum wage? They brain wash you, every meeting you attend they will tell you how you are so luck to work for a company that doesn't lay off. The truth is, that the turn over is so high you never have to lay off. More than 65% of employees are on FMLA. All you have to do is mention to your doctor that you work for GEICO and they are soliciting FMLA because they feel so bad for you. Everyone in Macon is aware of how bad it is there.

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.
