Pros

GEICO is extremely supportive of work-life balance, and the people there are friendly and helpful on the whole. Management has very low expectations of people, so it is really easy to to meet their standards.

Cons

Many of the people at the company (at headquarters), while nice, are fairly incompetent. The company is extremely slow to make changes and follows the ever changing whims of senior management. The work is often rote and doesn't challenge you or help you grow.

Pros

With being a field adjuster, the flexibility with scheduling is great. Having a company car and free gas is very nice.

Cons

The work overload is ridiculous!!!!!! We continually hear that we are going to be hiring, but when it comes down to it, it seems as though more employees are transferring to other areas, and not being replaced, so the work force for the field is low, and the work load in continually increasing. Being rated on severity of claims against peers is not a fair practice. Some areas deal with notinh but high end vehicles where other areas deal with average and below vehicle to where their severity is much less. Goals and organization needs to be carefully examined and changed

Pros

Pay is above average for the position and the free car and gasoline is a real perk! Flexibility is good for doing field work in between life appointments (which is essential since frankly your work NEVER ends at this job)

Cons

too much work! too much territory! The lack of experience in the management greatly burdens the people doing the day to day job. Having 10 - 15 assignments/claims a day with supplements and files of concern (fraud, liability pictures, old files, total losses) is just too much unless your working in a couple of cities that are adjacent - not a footprint of 75 miles across four bridges in Northern California (yes, this is a true story of two years long). That said, it's sad because you want to succeed, for yourself and the organization (claims adjusting isn't something you do to stay employed - you have to love people, insurance, the auto industry - something - fo rme it is all of the above, been doing git forever). Lots of favoritism, too little professionalism, and senior management is sadly just a bunch of uneducated climbers.....could be a great company if they just stood back, put the numbers away and started doing real ride alongs (not just pretend ones like the sheets say the front line management is doing). I believe it will turn around but I am already gone.....best year and a half of my life has been since I left (never thought I would say that).
