Pros

Very Busy and lots of opportunities to sell. Work atmosphere is professional and office equipment is current. What training there was... was fair.

Cons

Training. Because this office is owned and operated by an independent agent, training is not provided by Geico itself, but by the office staff. Training was limited to down times throughout the business day and no time was provided after hours or before working hours. Most of training was also completed as on-the-job style. Agency owner is impatient with results and may choose not to follow-through with even the probationary (training) period if results are not met. All underwriting is completed at the office level.... so it is essential that you are familiar with reading and understanding the most complicated of Motor Vehicle Reports. The service provides a very hard to read report that is essential to get correct to provide an accurate and ultimately a winning quote.

Pros

They are making a profit and once certified after 6 months, you are pretty sure to keep your job for life. They do offer a lot of training.

Cons

I wish the management were more personable and caring, and less pressuring. The lower level managers do not protect their employees enough. There is way too much emphasis on not getting embarrassed instead of figuring a mistake is a lesson learned.

Pros

There are lots of advancement opportunities within the company, and if you are willing to relocate the sky is the limit.

Cons

They preach operating principles of the company but don't follow them. They treat you like you are in kintergarden, and find ways to lower your rating so they can give you less of a raise.
