Pros

Benefits from day 1, profit sharing, tuition reimbursement (but for industry related education only). Modest discount on insurance if you are also a customer. Job stability.

Cons

Attendance policy as rigorous as the military, pay is not stellar and profit sharing does not always make up for it, rigid work hours, little scheduling flexibility. Most positions above entry level are salaried, so no overtime opportunities. If you have a family and your child gets sick, better hope you have family in the area. If have less than 97% attendance on a rolling annual basis, you are not elligible for promotions, raises, and are put on an improvement plan. However much sick time you accrue, you can only use your vacation time for illness other than yourself. I have to work unpaid overtime at least 2-3 days week just to try not to get too far behind. If I was trying to stay 100% caught up i would work 50 hrs a week to do my job that im scheduled to do in 38.75 working hours. Pay is weak compared to similar jobs at other major employers, but the company constantly reminds its employees they get "profit sharing" every year based on company performance. If performance stinks, than you get nothing. Management is much better at telling the employees what they should do better than what they are doing well. Management is very good at demanding much more than is reasonably possible for 75% of its employees to achieve in terms of job performance.

Pros

Great Pay .. thats about it.

Cons

- Long hours. - Geico is EXTREMELY picky about missing work .. if your sick, you have to let them know the day before that you'll be calling out of work .. And even then, that still may count against you. - You can miss about 3 days (regardless of why those days were missed) before they threaten to fire you. - Supervisors at Geico are a joke ..

Pros

If you need a decent paycheck, yet have not completed your AA or Bachelor's Degree. They also train. No prior experience is needed! They help you pass the state insurance exam, etc. which is great.

Cons

Call center environment-reps are tied to the phones. Every minute counts-literally. This gets tiring after awhile. Training can be pretty stressful, but once passed it, you can breathe a little easier.
