Pros

- Profit Sharing - Ability to move from one team to another is pretty easy. You can learn a TON about every marketing medium due to the massive budget and number of consumer touch points & team collaborations necessary. - They have worked on salaries in recent years to be more competitive with others in the area, and started rewarding those who consistently perform well with raises. - The company itself does consistently well financially, so you never fear losing your job. Very stable. - Good work/life balance. Staying late/working on the weekends is discouraged-- everyone shuts down.

Cons

- Can sometimes get into a rut of same old same old with responsibilities -- upward movement can sometimes be just a title bump but you're not actually doing anything different. - Office politics-- especially because so many people there have worked there for so long. Lots of egos. - The ones who make it to top leadership positions are those who have stayed with the company for 15+ years. While it's great to reward loyalty, many lack the perspective of working anywhere else, and can become complacent with doing the same thing year after year. New ideas are often discouraged. - The culture is weird/stuffy/corporate.

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

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.
