very toxic culture - Manager - Engineering GEICO Employee Review

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.

Really nothing major that I can think of!

*Pay and your ability to negotiate as an external hire are better than most places *You are only expected to work 7 hrs and 45 min; clock-out time is on the dot and strict.

*Understaffed; multiple people are on medical leave due to the toxic work environment and the metrics system *Leadership is usually unprepared and inexperienced; there is a serious lack of understanding from leaders when you address inconsistencies in auditing. A lot of leaders score people's work inaccurately, and depending on whether your leaders like you, the appeal process is rarely honored. *there is hardly any overtime so many people work off the clock, even when addressing this with directors and HR- nothing will change. they will protect the company; everyone is aware that people are experiencing wage theft- no one does anything to change it out of fear of losing their job. * If you point out any discrepancies, you will be targeted-there is a consistent issue with retaliation at GEICO.
