GEICO reviews

Very toxic treatment of employees and unrealistic work standards. As an adjuster there, I was injured while undergoing training (unrelated to GEICO) where I still received new claims to work. This meant that I was being negatively punished in my metrics when I was on temporary medical leave (about five days) and was threatened to be fired. I then spent the next few weeks working with one arm and constantly under threat of getting fired. Since it was my first time job I didn’t want to complain too much to HR or management but if it had been a later job I would’ve found a new job immediately and potentially filed a lawsuit, if it actually got that bad. I left over a year ago and in that time Geico has restructured, and some of the nicest and most loyal employees I knew at Geico got laid off. They were given very little notice and severance and often lied to management about the safety of their jobs; many were directly told there jobs were fine only to be met with a small severance a few days later. The remaining people I know there are all trying to leave and all have been actively interviewing with other companies. I don’t recommend anyone work here.

The only reason I stayed at the company for 4 years is because of the pay and benefits. My direct supervisors were always great, too. However, everything else about the company sucked. Upper management lacks the capability to communicate with their employees (or straight up *lie* in emails). Almost every associate talks about how they’ve never experienced such bad depression and anxiety before. The job is high-stress. You’re expected to be non-stop talking to customers (avg 5 minutes/call) for 8 hours every day. You’re micromanaged to the MAX. And the company actually tries to dissuade you from taking vacation/sick (which feels illegal in some ways??). This company has seriously gone downhill over the past couple of years and I have never been happier that I got out when I did. TL;DR If you’re curious about how the company actually operates and treats their associates, the Reddit subpage r/GEICO can give you some SERIOUS insight. (The company tries to hide this page lmfao)
