Pros

GEICO looks good on a resume

Cons

Pay Time off No work from home Horrible management Idiotic management They give you sick time but if you use too much of it, they'll write you up. I'm not kidding, it will effect your "dependability raiting". In fact, you can even get fired for it. They treat well trained employees like children. If its snowing or there is severe weather like a hurricane, a blizzard, or flooding. You still have to come in, even if the roads are blocked. If you choose to stay home, they will force you to use a vacation day. Management has ZERO clue whats going on. They micromanage and constantly want status all the time. They do this because they're absolutely clueless and they were promoted to their incompetencey. However, they'll never be fired or demoted, they just sit in the same spot, most until they retire.

Pros

Profit sharing. Need to stay 2 years to receive but worth it (from what I hear). Full benefits and 401k.

Cons

Over worked, under appreciated. Company prides itself as a low cost provider to reduce rates for their customers. In doing so, you work on antiquated systems and a run down work environment. Hard work is compensated with minuscule promotions and giveaways like "good parking spots" or "Ducks tickets" (not the mighty ones...) It's a tremendously large company and they arent lying about the opportunity to move up; mainly because of the immense turnover in the claims department. If you can stick it out, you may just work your way up.. into more claims. And from there, you can go onto supervise claims adjuster. Pay is competitive but on the lower spectrum compared to other companies. A great entry level opportunity with room to grow but that's if you can handle the stress for being dealt an unrealistic amount of work and unrealistic goals. Finally, rules and regulations are constantly changing and there are constantly contradicting themselves. Causes more mayhem in an already chaotic environment.

Pros

Great pay. Employee discount on insurance. Extremely detailed training. Nice coworkers. Licensing is covered by the company, and is renewed by the company every year.

Cons

Stressful. No advancement opportunities. No flexible schedules. The company would rather hire externally than to hire within. GEICO does not care about its employees.
