Pros

Training to go do the job elsewhere

Cons

Huge turnover in the region for good reason. Give up a significant amount of time for training and Geico treats you like you don't deserve to be there and they really don't seem to care about their staff. The training staff in Virginia is downright disrespectful, extremely pretentious and it creates an overall terrible onboarding experience before you ever work your first shift. You can make more elsewhere as an appraiser doing the same job.

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.
