Pros

Senior management is great. A lot of smart people who have worked their way up the ranks. Good culture of supporting people's career development. People who started on the phone are now in high leadership positions. Supportive environment. Not a lot of egos. Everyone is pretty down to earth. Well-run, stable company where you don't worry about layoffs

Cons

LOT of dead wood. People tend to stay at GEICO forever and promotions are too reliant on tenure so it is very difficult to move up. Smart young people make lateral moves or leave. IT middle management is the worst. They have a stranglehold on everything and make it difficult for other departments to do anything. Lots of "ownership" issues and lack of communication. Good company. It's unfortunate that good, energetic people have nowhere to go but out because people sit at their desks until retirement.

Pros

1. Slightly above average wages 2. Good benefits package 3. Potential for promotion, as long as employee is willing to stay long term

Cons

1. Micro-managed to a painful degree 2. Treated by management as a chair, not a person with a family 3. Was actually told during training by upper level management "You have to put Geico before your family." 4. Attendance policy does not allow for personal sickness, or familial illness. 5. No family friendly policies in place at all 6. One break, one lunch, is all that is allowed. Employees are told they can have five minutes "Personal" time per day, but it is frowned upon. If employees are one second over the 5 minute limit on personal time, everyone in the section receives an email about how long you took. 7. Training is long and dry, which can be good, but immediately after it's complete, employees are condescended to by their new management.
