GEICO Management Development Program reviews

-Salary - coming out of college, I didn't realize what I was worth as an employee, considering my education level. If I had a better understanding, I would have attempted to negotiate my salary. However, even management is making pennies compared to other large private sector companies or government organizations. -Workload - this goes hand in hand with salary. The expectations, escpecially in the claims department (somewhat less in other departments), are somewhat outrageous. While it is an invaluable learning experience to take with you elsewhere, it's not sustainable for the long-term (especially with the salary structure). -Mixed Feelings about Management - like most jobs, you'll encounter good managers / supervisors, and some that are not so good. Gossip among management is a huge issue - this can come with any workplace, but most people I knew compared working at GEICO to actually working at a high school. While I valued so many mentors I worked with along the way, it was almost astonishing how some particular managers were able to reach their positions with their general attitude.

Horrible Hours Immense stress Self Esteem Drain Many of us Quit at the same time - We were miserable. It's ward to put into words in a quick summary, but I had a friend who wouldn't put on her makeup until she arrived at the parking lot because she knew she would cry all the way to work. I went in with a lot of self confidence, and I left with very little sense of self worth. No individual person made us feel this way - it's just structured in such a way that unfortunately that sets you up for failure.
