Pros

There's a special kinship among non management employees. Particularly among tenured associates. Healthcare benefits are good.

Cons

Company culture is horrible. They will grind you to dust if you let them, and there's an insatiable appetite for more productivity out of fewer people. Numbers are everywhere, in goal packages and in unstated "these aren't goals but they're just as important" memos and emails. The pressure to attain these numbers is ever present, and the wildly shifting goalposts within the numbers will drive you insane. Keep in mind that even when an issue is acknowledged by everyone, including regional mgmt, nothing is done until it's already matastized into a horrible, morale destroying cancer. This happens constantly, and for a company culture that greets issues with turnover and inconsistent management, is sadly the only true constant. You will feel pulled in 10 directions at once. There is little to no communication between home office, regional mgmt, and associates. This contributes to being tasked with contradictory goals, and the result is associates that collectively roll their eyes every time they receive an outlook calendar invite for a new meeting. They know this is just one more thing to add to the pile, and that whatever lofty goal a new management rep. (Who increasingly haven't worked within the departments they've been asked to manage.) comes up with it'll quickly be abandoned when results aren't what home office wants and we'll start all over again. In short, this is an organization that grew too much too fast and is killing it's associates to maintain that pace.

Pros

GEICO is one of the largest employers in my smaller town, so I've heard all the good, the bad, and the ugly. What a pleasant surprise it's been working here! There is so much intentional change to create a great employee experience and get the right team leaders in place. Highly recommend not putting too much weight into older negative comments if you're thinking about applying. I've been very happy with my salary, the benefits/time off, culture, and leadership (both locally and senior leaders). I feel like there's a lot of room to continue to grow my career here and I see the same opportunities for others.

Cons

Really nothing major that I can think of!

Pros

Interesting problems to work on. Good benefits. Decent pay.

Cons

Managers will gaslight you and upper leadership is constantly changing, so expect projects you're working on to be thrown out every 6 months. Many people burn out and quit after some time and are never back filled, so you'll be expected to take on their workload. Some of my colleagues were working 80 hour work weeks to keep up with the work load and yet told they were not performing well enough. There also wasn't much diversity.
