Pros

Steady work and job security due to Berkshire Hathaway’s backing.

Cons

They say they pay very well but comparatively to other insurance companies they do not. I had no idea until I left Geico. Geico expects the sky, sun, moon and stars from you but will only pay pennies on the dollar, the annual merit increases were a joke. Now this was back from 2015 to 2020, things may have changed as of now. Management is also very clickie and has obviously favourites, if you’re not in with the in crowd…. You’re not going to last long.

Pros

*Pay and your ability to negotiate as an external hire are better than most places *You are only expected to work 7 hrs and 45 min; clock-out time is on the dot and strict.

Cons

*Understaffed; multiple people are on medical leave due to the toxic work environment and the metrics system *Leadership is usually unprepared and inexperienced; there is a serious lack of understanding from leaders when you address inconsistencies in auditing. A lot of leaders score people's work inaccurately, and depending on whether your leaders like you, the appeal process is rarely honored. *there is hardly any overtime so many people work off the clock, even when addressing this with directors and HR- nothing will change. they will protect the company; everyone is aware that people are experiencing wage theft- no one does anything to change it out of fear of losing their job. * If you point out any discrepancies, you will be targeted-there is a consistent issue with retaliation at GEICO.
