Pros

+ some of the best middle management I've ever worked with + 6 month performance appraisals cycle (if your management is good with giving feedback and you do well, this means feedback + raise 2x a year) + pretty good work life balance, you know when/why you're working OT and it doesnt happen too often + as a newer employee management + senior members really care about developing/training you

Cons

- many in the VP and up level talk about how tech is important and getting 'up to speed' is important without understanding what they currently have - huge overall push to "move faster" with the same amount or less employees by upper management, without understanding how much goes into "keeping the lights on" in some depts more than others - no RTO plan and updates come less than a month out from the given date. overall "hardline" message about RTO

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

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

Cons

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.
