Pros

You will learn the objective of the role or position in writing, but in practice you will hit many obstacles due to unhappy staff with low morale all due to incompetent managers.

Cons

Psychological warfare to not pay you your due. Guilt trips if you have family or need sick leave. Organizational culture is the saddest. No inspiration or mentoring ever. Management in most of corporate needs to be given the boot or required to get MBA's so they know how to run and manage a business.

Pros

GEICO has a diverse culture and excellent job security. No age, race, sexual orientation, etc. discrimination exists. It is a high integrity company. They truly care passionately about their customers.

Cons

Poor management. Highly controlled management style. Not flexible or generous towards employees. Minimal raises. Poor vacation benefits. Expensive medical coverage. While job security is good in that few people ever get fired, they don't really seem to value their employees.

Pros

GEICO offers an amazing benefits package: health, vision, dental, Vanguard 401K, profit sharing yearly. Highly HR sensitive, so you'll never put up with the crap you do at other companies. No working off the clock, no "can you stay later", no harassment etc. Plus, you learn a thing or two about the insurance industry. Great resume builder.

Cons

It's a call center. If you want to be micromanaged beyond belief, sit in one spot for 8-10 hours a day and be treated in a pedagogical manner, this is the job for you. I felt like a telemarketer more than an insurance agent. Training is absolutely horrid in the long run. Organizational development is not found anywhere within this company. Limited opportunities to advance, as everyone is gunning to get off the phones. They do not respect your own personal goals, qualities or motivations. As a graduate student, I was told I needed my "core business" classes (associates level marketing etc.) to advance; which is a complete regression of the education I have already obtained. Overall, I felt extremely undervalued; I was a number, not a person.
