Pros

Paid training (though it is low). If you have a college degree you have potential to move up (more opportunities if you are willing to relocate).

Cons

Geico doesn't know how to treat their hard working employees. You are overworked and underpaid. The job takes a 1-2 years to fully understand and do well; management knows this but will still talk down to you for asking questions/ making mistakes. I had multiple instances where I went to my supervisor for advice on a claim. She would give me advice but it would be the incorrect advice. I would find out that I had done the wrong thing during my audit. Even after noting my claim that I had confirmed my actions with my supervisor, my supervisor would still fail me on the audit. It didn't make sense at all. If you go to your supervisor for advice you expect the correct answer. It was extremely frustrating. After speaking with my supervisor about the situation the same thing kept happening. Geico expects you to work hard, as any company would, but there is a difference between working hard and overworking. Working from 730am-700pm Mon-Fri for mediocre pay isn't work it.

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.
