Pros

In my last role as an analyst, my role was fairly easy and straightforward. Not much upward mobility but plenty of opportunity to reduce your own work via automation

Cons

Very toxic treatment of employees and unrealistic work standards. As an adjuster there, I was injured while undergoing training (unrelated to GEICO) where I still received new claims to work. This meant that I was being negatively punished in my metrics when I was on temporary medical leave (about five days) and was threatened to be fired. I then spent the next few weeks working with one arm and constantly under threat of getting fired. Since it was my first time job I didn’t want to complain too much to HR or management but if it had been a later job I would’ve found a new job immediately and potentially filed a lawsuit, if it actually got that bad. I left over a year ago and in that time Geico has restructured, and some of the nicest and most loyal employees I knew at Geico got laid off. They were given very little notice and severance and often lied to management about the safety of their jobs; many were directly told there jobs were fine only to be met with a small severance a few days later. The remaining people I know there are all trying to leave and all have been actively interviewing with other companies. I don’t recommend anyone work here.

Pros

Strong opportunities for career growth Many people are willing to mentor and support others without expecting anything in return Supportive culture, even from people who may not know you personally Increased focus on education and development, especially for leaders More company activities at the local office, which has been a welcome change Fun associate engagement opportunities like escape rooms, art activities, games, and food events So many opportunities for recognition

Cons

There are still some areas where the company appears to be rebuilding trust and confidence Change is noticeable and appreciated, but some improvements are still in progress Feedback has clearly helped shape recent changes, and it will be good to see that progress continue
