Pros

slary is one of the best starting in the industry, the bonuses are very nice. the company car is all time usage and they pay all your gas and maintainance - big perk! Dress code is easy; no jeans but usiness casual.

Cons

YOUNG and inexperienced management. Very emotional management that lead out of insecurity and fear. I realized after leaving that they were so afraid so they constantly talk down to you with this hint of "big brother is watching" and you can get fired for.......or I think the term they use a lot is integrity concern or something like that. It is just sad. It could be a great company - gosh the benefits are amazing. But I have worked for another firm ( Ileft another company because I was recurited to GEICO through a friend) and sadly I wish I had never left the stable and lower paying job. I enjoyed myself enough, the co -workers are fun at GEICO but frankly they are all stressed and need the money so they frustratingly push through. I am glad I am somewhere else now happy again and feel sorry for the employees who have to stay because of pay. It is not worth it.

Pros

- Benefits package is solid. - People are nice and there's a sense of team. - The company is very supportive both of associates and in our local communities. You can do your job, but also get involved in lots of other activities (volunteering, sports, cultural events.) - There is a lot of work to do ... so I never feel bored. My days go by rather quickly. - Great brand recognition. - Ethical company; part of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway.

Cons

- There are lots of policies and procedures, and specific ways of doing your job which can seem rather inflexible.

Pros

Job security - you have piece of mind that your job is secure Profit sharing - large bonus at the end of the year if company meets its goals (though salaries are lower) Culture - company supports good causes and I work with good people

Cons

Lack of promotional opportunities - I work in a very technical field so there are not many places for me to go in the company, but where I am there is no upward mobility. Potential burnout - employees have a very high workload
