Pros

benefits , profit sharing ...nothing else

Cons

Unprofessional management, getting time off is just about impossible unless its scheduled two weeks in advance...micromanagement, racist situations get brushed under the table by hr..and the same people you report get promoted.You are only a number, no matter how long you have worked there no slack is given if you are not hitting the numbers (which they change at the drop of a dime). Horrible schedules catered to workaholics w/out family life. Geico would rather hire outside of the company (people with no insurance experience will become supervisors within a year or two)while you are still sitting on the phone taking call after call lol. If you are gay or bisexual its a perfect place to work very open. Apparently the tattoos and jade green hair and piercings are acceptable now (they werent at my interview)because thats all i see in the halls now. The computer systems are always crashing more money needs to be spent on this and retraining clueless supervisors instead of flying Geico banners attached to planes across the sky. Geico prides itself on no layoffs...true...this is because you will be fired if you do not conform to the happy go lucky culture, brown nose or basically become a super agent. My department hires a lot of younger women without children, who actually have been heard saying they dont like children (which is fine) but disturbing when you have to request a schedule change because of a child .Everyone knows your business. If you discuss something with a supervisor there is no confidentiality. You will be wrote up for numbers constantly so keep track of them because their system wont,take my advice and write down every sale you get The IT department is never around and neither are the supervisors. They are walking off and laughing together or complaining because associates have questions or need assistance...they get paid at least $55000 a year...thats the least they can do. In a nutshell you are micromanaged, underpaid ,unappreciated...if you can hold out profit sharing or the illusion of a bonus check is the only thing that will keep you there but the company is unprofession down to the people that work in their Credit Union (but thats a whole new review!) hope this helps i could write a book about this place.

Pros

Everyone is very nice and helpful. The company is growing very fast and there are plenty of opportunities for advancement if you are willing to work hard. Some members of management really care and try to help you grow. Profit sharing is great and very secure job as long as you perform decently.

Cons

High workload, especially for the Supervisor/Management prep programs. Base pay seems to be below industry levels but they do give profit sharing.

Pros

Great health insurance offered to their employees.

Cons

Employees are constantly told/made to feel like they are never good enough as a motivational tactic, as well as, dangling the idea that you could lose your job at any moment. Management leads through fear and intimidation. Upper management speaks poorly (makes fun of them) about the line employees behind their backs.
