Pros

A steady paycheck is what the job provides. It also gives you a feel of the coroperate atmosphere. Your there to make money at the end of the day which is perfectly fine.

Cons

Its hard to move up sometimes. You base alot of your work on what they tell you to do, almost like a monkey. If you can't move up at the job you get stuck with no options and thats not what you want to do. The job unfortaunetly does have a clear limit on it.

Pros

GEICO provides a good opportunity to start a career. The expectations are high and they won't let you lack, but that is a good thing since it requires you to learn to act professionally. GEICO has decent benefits. The profit sharing is a big plus. The company usually does very well thus profit sharing is usually very good. After a year you are able to move around the company to find a position that is better suited for you. Layoffs almost never happen. They just stop hiring if they feel they are overstaffed. You have to really do something wrong to get flat out fired. They will usually try to find a different position for you first.

Cons

It can be hard sometimes to break out of the basic positions at GEICO. Most work in sales, service, or claims. If you want to work for corporate, then it is much harder to find a position. The sales, service, and claims jobs top out over time and there isn't any way to continue moving up the ladder except to find a job with corporate (in underwriting, or IT, etc) unless you want to be a supervisor (not much benefit to this, just more of a headache). The work can become very monotinous.

Pros

Cons

It is very hard to stand out. The size makes it easy to diappear. You can also feel limited in your resposibilities as everything is so compartmentalized.
