- The DC headquarter building is old and disgusting. We constantly had problems with mice, falling ceiling tiles, awful bathrooms. It was an embarrassment to bring vendors in.
- Office supplies were abundant and easy to request, but little things that other companies supply were not available... for example GEICO does not provide water coolers, coffee, tissues, or plastic cutlery for associates. You have to buy something from the cafeteria downstairs to get them or bring in your own.
- The "Emerging Leader Program' is a joke and a slap in the face to most associates who are forced to deal with the arrogant new-hires who are treated like royalty and paid an average of $15,000 more than other new-hires. (When they had the same GPA and education levels)
- GEICO is great about promoting those who are smart and passionate, but also has a LARGE amount of people who are too lazy to leave, but too lazy/dumb to also do their jobs. They continue to be paid, and somehow promoted to management level, with their incompetence never being addressed. It causes a lack of respect among others when you see this happen, but it promotes mediocrity.
-The parking attendants are rude human beings who park behind or around your car and then refuse to move even though you are almost hitting another car trying to get around them. Sorry to disturb their 'nap..' If you you drive a different car into the office instead of your own they are almost furious to have to give you a temporary parking pass... which means doing their job. Yet they don't mind driving their 'friends' down to the metro so they don't have to walk half a mile around the block.
