GEICO reviews

I have worked for other insurance company as a salaried employee and had never had to use PTO or be docked pay for leaving early for medical appointments or emergencies. I was told that I would not receive any PTO days until 6 months of employment. That's fine if everything in your life goes perfect for those 6 months but heaven forbid if you get sick or have any type of emergency. During my time their, my mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer and I needed to be off occasionally to attend her surgery and accompany her to oncology appointments. I was given hell for this and no compassion whatsoever. I had a separate incident where I had an upper respiratory infection with a fever (felt like I had the flu) and was told by my doctor to not go into work because I was contagious. I was even given a doctor's note advising of such. Did that matter to management? Hell no! I was called into a manager's office and was reprimanded due to their ridiculous attendance policy. I ended up having panic attacks, became depressed and had to see a psychologist due to the stress and micromanagement and resorted to psychotropic drugs and alcohol just to get by. I have since left the company and have been much happier since. My advice, life's too short...

Geico likes to overwork its employees. You do make slightly more than the average adjuster, but you are required to do more than double the work of adjusters from other companies.
