Pros

Good pay. Nice facility. Good training. They were happy to have me onboard.

Cons

If you don't cross every T and dot every i, you're in trouble. Every detail with which you are trained has to come through on every call. My supervisor would regularly listen to many of my calls and find every exacting mistake I made on the calls even though my sales were constantly and gradually improving. She would warn me that I could be fired and asked me on a regular basis: "Do you not want to be here? Do you want to quit?" They fired me after I started getting up to 8 and 9 sales per day there. When I went to apply for unemployment, I was turned down because Geico had told the state employment commission that I had been dismissed for misconduct because I had violated company rules or policies. At the same time, they were hiring new agents at (I heard) lower wages. Even some of the top agents in the company were concerned about losing their jobs and were looking elsewhere.

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
