Pros

-Profit sharing -Benefits - Had to write 5 words...this should do it

Cons

First, I am almost positive that nearly all of the 4&5 star reviews on this site are "purchased reviews" to make the company look better. Just read them, and note how 4 or 5 great reviews are all back to back. They can't get people into their job fairs unless they counter the negative reviews out there. Second, I was a claims supervisor in Poway and I can say that the negative reviews are true. There is little "good" happening at Geico. After drinking the Kool-Aid for 10+ years I started realizing the grass isn't blue and the sky isn't green. Seriously, it's that bad! I felt brainwashed into believing that micromanaging my associates was normal. I was an angry and anxious person while there, and bought into the corporate abuse they required that I impose on the line adjusters. Once I woke up from the daze I knew I had to escape. I feel like I left a cult! I am not a bitter ex employee- I quit. I was moving up but my conscience got in the way. As bad as these reviews sound NOTHING comes close to describing the true environment inside Geico. Nepotism, retaliation, harassment- all exist in abundance. I left and took a job for less money but my new employer does not engage in or condone emotional abuse.

Pros

The benefits are reasonably good. Healthcare, vacation time are comparable to other large companies.

Cons

THE COMPANY HAS CONFLICTING GOALS, INSANE PRESSURE AND WORKLOAD INTHE CLAIMS AREAS. ITS FAR BETTERTO TAKE A LOWER STRESS JOB WITH THE LOWER PAY GRADES. BUT BE ADVISED,. THIS COMPNAY CONOLIDATES DEPATMENTS ALOT. THE PROFIT SHARING FIGURES ARE EXCELLENT. HOWVER, ALOT OF THAT IS ALSO DUE TO JOBS THAT CONTINUE TO BE CUT.
