Pros

Fellow associates and good helpful team

Cons

compensation and flexibility in terms of aws .Aws means you will need to work 8.75 hours instead of 7.75 hoirs everyday and you get a day off every alternate week .This was abriptly stopped in 2004 .So people who joined before 2004 are still enjoying it and most of the people have joined below that cutoff.and when anybody new join he sees the other people enjoying that and asving their leave while they have to come to work.Its kind of very dissatisfactory

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

The growth opportunities are excellent. There are many levels available from a salary perspective and management is generally supportive of those seeking to improve their positions within the company.

Cons

The organization is so large that one has to take ownership of their work and sing their own praises a little too often. Better recognization of valued employees and their ideas need to be incorporated in a more natural way in the appraisal processes and promotional processes.
