Pros

Work life balance. You don’t have access to you work stuffs after work hour. So basically you are totally free from emails and work. Extremely high job security.

Cons

They didn’t treat you as an adult. You have to swipe in and swipe out and make sure you stay strictly 7.75 hours everyday. They didn’t value your work that much except you are in marketing department basically because they only need the premium for investments so they don’t care other things too much. It shows on your payments. Anyone can easily get a better paid job out of here. It’s a super cheap company.

Pros

Close to my home, flexibility in promotion if you are willing to relocate, have been able to get promoted and move to multiple departments in my stay

Cons

Regional management and corporate staff departments vie for desks and parking spaces in regional offices, staff department management does not appreciate remote employees, regional offices don't like teleworking or remote working opportunities, many departments pay lip service to Agile and Scrum practices but do not follow them at all, HR is difficult to work with, many practices ate bureaucratic and unnecessary

Good pay is the carrot, crushing workload the stick

Pros

Decent salary, good health care benefits, opportunities to move up, educational opportunities too.

Cons

Geico prides itself on what they consider extensive training for new hires. The reality is you are in no way prepared to do the job that is expected of you; everything you need to you will learn on the job. Essentially they operate on a sink or swim mentality. They throw you in and see if you will either sink or you will swim. Half of my training class quit before 6 months had passed. Be prepared to cope with an an overload of demands for your attention, two phone lines with the expectation you will answer not just your own calls but your teammates' as well, stacks of aged claims whose previous handlers have either moved up or left leaving you to clean up their mess, and a daily roster a brand new claims you have to work while trying to juggle all of the other ongoing files you've inherited. Add in the software programs which don't quite meet the needs of the company (and occasionally crash) and you're in for a stress-lover's dream. On a lesser note, offering a 401k that isn't matched for a year is all kinds of cheap.
