Pros

The salary at GEICO is decent for what it's worth with good health and other benefits. Typically, coworkers are pleasant to work with and so is senior management. If you can play within the rules and be a "suck up" and do well in a matrix environment, you will be able to do pretty well. Opportunities are good if you fit the framework and are willing to move around the country. Tuition reimbursement is good if you do not have a degree.

Cons

The company will not pay proper overtime or allow for individual growth due to budget deficits. I asked many times to be sent to professional development programs and was always brushed off or ignored. Overtime hours (if even considered) are classified as "premium pay" which is less than 50% your hourly rate. When going on "CATASTROPHE" duty I was only paid regular overtime not CATASTROPHE pay as illustrated in the HR handbook. Supposedly it is at manager discretion if you receive the proper pay or not. THERE IS A LOT OF WORK. You will need to work unpaid overtime to stay on top of your workload and you will have many impossible goals to maintain. If you want no home/family time then you can succeed in this job.

Pros

-Infinite OT -Job stability -Paid sick time -2 weeks vacation to start (accrued over time) -Profit Sharing -Ever-growing company -Company vehicle

Cons

-Overwhelming workload (generates infinite OT, mostly mandatory to keep up) -Consistent turn-over due to workload and management practices (ensure job-stability) -Continuous negative re-enforcement -No Pension -Only 401k company contribution from profit sharing -Company expectation to essentially work part of your day for free. -You will never take one of your breaks, and you will never be paid for working it either. -Want to work up the company? Work for free. -You pay for partial use on company vehicle -Lack of empathy/understanding. -Job responsibilities grow everyday. -Statistics determining raise/promotion are competitively based. Meaning there is a guarantee 40% will not receive good reviews (raises or promotions). They are also designed to make any hard work look mediocre due to measuring factors.

Pros

Flexible hours- You get to make your own schedule to a certain extent. Most AD Adjusters are provided a company car and are able to use it for personal use- always with free gas and insurance Benefits are good

Cons

Management always finds a new metric, new goal, or new job responsibility to add, but never removes any. Over time this have become very draining and irritating. Handling shady/dishonest shops gets really old, really quickly. Being the front, face to face contact for customers has its perks, but in the insurance industry it always seems there are more bitter, angry people than smiling faces. This takes its toll on any worker. The salary is some of the lowest in the industry, while the work load is among the highest
