The worst place I've ever worked

Pros

Good benefits and pay. The people in your section, not the supervisor, are great to work with.

Cons

If you're not liked you won't do well. This is an aweful company to work for. If you don't have a college degree then they won't like you. The supervisors are always talking to each other andnever at their desk unless Tony is there. Then they'll get mad if you go to another supervisor. If you're ever placed on a warning don't expect your supervisor to do their job and help you. You'll have to help yourself. Plus HR won't listen to any complaints because their all friends with supervisors and managers.

Pros

The benefits package is not bad, it's better than not making any money at all, and the name brand recognition is a good thing to have on your resume when you move on to a better company and position.

Cons

Too many negatives to list. Overall just a horrible work experience with low morale everywhere due to extreme micromanagement. I took my job skills elsewhere, increasing my salary from the over 30k I made at Geico to over 65k at my current job, and I'm eligible for a promotion to 75k in Fall 2012. I am well educated and hardworking and I came to make nothing short of a long-term career at Geico but they were more concerned about tracking my bathroom time (trust issues much?) and squeezing every breath I took into something they could quantify on a daily spreadsheet. I am exponentially happier and more productive since leaving that place and many of former coworkers did exactly the same thing.

Pros

The numerous coworkers who are competent and professional are the only thing that makes the job remotely tolerable. Good health insurance benefits.

Cons

The case load assigned is 60 to 100 percent greater than what GEICO say an employee can handle. Everyone is so overwhelmed and stressed it is impossible to do even a fair job. This is okay because there are no reviews and no raises. Management’s position is that you should just be thankful to have a job. Hourly employees work through breaks, lunch, and take work home in a desperate attempt to keep up with the avalanche of work that is assigned. It is a modern day sweatshop where GEICO puts their profits ahead of their employees and their insureds.
