Pros

Good salary for entry level positions. Can be turned into a career if you are the corporate robot type.

Cons

A very high level of constant stress from the time you walk in until the moment you leave. Every thing that you do is measured and scrutinized with a weighted metric. You are a number, all that matters is your numbers, you will constantly be force fed numbers logging your every move down to the exact amount of seconds that you spend going to the restroom. You should be open to taking some sort of medication to help get you through the week if you intend to work here. Don't let anyone fool you into believing you're going to be an insurance agent. You're an office drone leashed to a headset telephone taking calls all day long pushing GEICO products. You're a glorified retail associate, the only difference being that in retail you aren't chained to your chair.

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

Decent pay and remote work.

Cons

Poor management at all levels, and high turnover in the IT department. Profit sharing was initially offered when I started in 2013 but disappeared after covid. Management laid off most of the IT staff that had the technical and insurance knowledge in favor of bringing in new staff to transition GEICO into a tech company. Not sure what the status of the IT department is in 2026.
