Not What is Promised - Claims Supervisor GEICO Employee Review

GEICO does not care about its employees, although they allege otherwise. Actions speak louder than words. GEICO works its' associates to death. The reviewer who stated it was the only legal sweat shop in the U.S. was correct. There is a lot of opportunity for advancement, BUT - BE CAREFUL! Once you advance to the Supervisor level, you are expected to work a minimum of 10 hours day and you can forget about life outside of GEICO and any family obligations. Many long time, fully tenured supervisors have chosen to step down from supervision because of the heavy, unbalanced workload. This, of course, is considered career suicide at GEICO. And, it should be noted, that several of those supervisors were rated number 1 and 2 in the department. They were not underachievers. Others are strategically waiting until the 15 year mark when they can collect their pension early at 55. Either way, despite their 7 operating principles, GEICO truly fails in the way it treats its' associates and supervisors. The leadership principles taught there are geared toward a kindergarten class - insulting to an experienced insurance professional with a degree and various professional certifications. Upper management 'leads' by fear and intimidation, which, of course, is NOT true leadership at all!
