Pros

The pay, profit sharing, schedule flexibility, potlucks, team meetings. It's a great experience to add to your resume. Useful when looking for better opportunities. They also have relocation opportunities

Cons

Most days you literally don't get a second to breathe before the next call comes in. You get 2 fifteen minute breaks and a 45 minute lunch. They took away personal time so you must fit your restroom time in during your break or be asked why you need to use the restroom. Micromanage is an understatement. Your supervisor is literally over your shoulder for your calls making it very uncomfortable. The metrics are a bit ridiculous. They have started to force selling on those of us who simply got hired for customer service positions. The metrics for selling property insurance have been boosted in the last three yrs so you could actually lose your job for not being a great seller. Since these changes have come about there has been a spike in turnover and the geico office in Indy is starting to panic and ask why. You could get a new supervisor at any time and they hire those fresh out of college who don't know anything about insurance let alone Geico. So you get stuck with a new supervisor that's supposed to help you but you end up knowing more than them.

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.
