Pros

The concept of team work is very evident. We are blessed with caring and competent management at all levels. They truly believe "We are all in this Together". Very generous salary if you are willing to work hard. The feint of heart need not apply GEICO only wants the best. Many are called few are chosen. GEICO loves veterans, probably because they are accustomed to difficult tasks and stay focused on the task at hand, and did I mention team players.

Cons

They hire too many shall we say whiners who feel that the world owes them a living. This is a company where you must demonstrate your ability to be a self starter and hard worker. I hear from alot of ne'er do wells and incompetent lazy couch potatoes, who feel they rate a paycheck for showing up.

Pros

There are tons of opportunities to advance. With the economy the way it is, GEICO is one of the few companies that is doing well and growing. The salaries are competitive, management is responsive to input from the associates, and the benefits are good. If you want opportunities to move throught the country and want to stay with the same company, GEICO would be hard to beat. Profit sharing over the years has also been excellent and the benefits are good. Being owned by Berkshire Hathaway is also a plus in that it provides some financial security and opportunity for continued growth.

Cons

Not a downside, but you are expected to work hard. Having said that; however, the rewards (in the form of opportunities for promotion and profit sharing) are worth it. A downside for some may be the amount of time spent on the telephone or tied to a desk. As a call center handling sales, service and claims calls, a large amount of the work force is tied to the telephone assisting our customers. It seems like every aspect of the process is monitored and goals are set for everything, so it can be daunting at times to meet all the goals.

Pros

Great pay, great benefits, great people. This company excels at promoting the most deserving from within. If you work hard for GEICO you will be rewarded accordingly. I've never worked for a company that epitomizes the ideals of integrity, honesty and hard work will make you successful. For the people who doubt that GEICO is a good campany to work for just remember, it is what you make of it.

Cons

There can be odd schedules for sales and service staff. The amount of information you need to accurately recall quickly can be daunting at first.
