GEICO reviews

i only have experience with the claims department. co-worker squabbling and gossiping can sometimes make you feel like you're in high school again. although it is sometimes understandable since we do work in the insurance industry and we are regulated by the state, treating honest mistakes like an integrity issue is occasionally a problem. tuition reimbursement is limited now to only business core classes... say what?!? they want you to get your degree or you wont be considered for a promotion, but they will not pay for the extra classes that the school requires before you can graduate. GEICO thinks that just because someone has a degree, they are somehow more intelligent or will be more adept at their job, regardless of how little their degree relates to business at all. it is also now more difficult to get approval for tuition reimbursement at private schools (i.e. strayer university). the "emerging leaders" program has really got to go. the head of the program has a serious entitlement problem. every other employee at geico, especially supervisors, in the departments that they are rotated through, are resentful that a fresh out of college "kid" with no experience was magically chosen to be placed directly in a management position after being rotated through a few departments. many of these "emerging leaders" leave the company once they are finished with their rotations anyway. i dont know of a single one who actually stayed with the company once they were finished with their rotations.

It is extremely hard to be promoted at GEICO unless you have a supervisor or manager who pulls for you. Unless you are one of the chosen few who are picked by supervision to be promoted you will spend your years toiling away in an entry level position without the opportunity to advance.
