This company is so stressful that they have to offer a higher pay to keep employees. While in training, our class realized that the turnover rate is 75 to 80%!! Some of the employees that were still there had classes with 10 - 12 people and only 2 or 3 were still there (after 1 year).
There were "coaches" that were so 'power' hungry and controlling that it was ridiculous. And then these same coaches were actually promoted to Supervisors!! They were constantly gossiping about each other and even overheard to gossip about some new employees in our class!
This company is mostly younger people and when you look at the mix, they only hire one 'token' 'older person' in each new class. Maybe if they valued 'experience' and looked for the benefit of older employees, they wouldn't have such high turnover.
After only 4 mths at the company, my class of 12 had 5 people leave! One young lady ended up breaking down and crying because of the extreme pressure put on her!
It seems that "training" is Geico's 2nd largest business, next to insurance. The middle management unfortunately work the day shift and no one is "watching the roost" at evening or night shifts. The 'coaches' are like a high school clique , they are lazy and they do not in any way enhance or add to the business.
