Pros

Very Busy and lots of opportunities to sell. Work atmosphere is professional and office equipment is current. What training there was... was fair.

Cons

Training. Because this office is owned and operated by an independent agent, training is not provided by Geico itself, but by the office staff. Training was limited to down times throughout the business day and no time was provided after hours or before working hours. Most of training was also completed as on-the-job style. Agency owner is impatient with results and may choose not to follow-through with even the probationary (training) period if results are not met. All underwriting is completed at the office level.... so it is essential that you are familiar with reading and understanding the most complicated of Motor Vehicle Reports. The service provides a very hard to read report that is essential to get correct to provide an accurate and ultimately a winning quote.

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
