Pros

Decent pay for minimum experience and relatice to the locations of the offices. Growth potential if you're half competent.

Cons

Nearly every aspect of the job. Consistently monitored, bathroom breaks, phone calls, what's on your screens. High stress/high demand. Supervisors have an attitude of if you can't handle it, you're not geico material. Most employees I've met, say they don't care for the job but the pay is too good to give up. Most jobs are salaried and it's expected to work your full hours. If you stay over 7.75 hours/day no comp time or ot pay. Weekly hours are 38.75 to ensure you don't get ot. Only worth the agony if you're in the management or emerging leaders programs. A review without any cons is a lie. They have either never worked anywhere else, fully drank the geico kool-aid, or work for geico.

Pros

It pays my bills barely.

Cons

You feel like a number, this company doesn't give a crap about it's employees. They pay below the average of the rest of the industry, and ask you to do 3 times the amount of work of comparable positions at other companies. This company is bleeding employees and has a horrid attrition rate and they are to blind to see the real problems, such as the impossible goals they ask employees to meet. If you're in a position in GEICO that has to answer calls God help your soul, the only people that may not hate working here are if you manage to get a position in the clueless management or some other rare non-phone position. And unless you have a 4 year degree, forget about any kind of advancement, and if you do have a degree, why there hell would you want to work here. Basically, just don't work here if you can help it.
