"It is a strong company to work for. I have enjoyed it. I just feel that I am ready to expand my expertise."
"Loved my job, was promoted and earned raises, and then I had a new supervisor who destroyed my whole view of the company. She wrote me up for things beyond my control, and seemed to want to watch the world burn around me. Also when we were changed into working from home, we had to purchase our own laptops and use our personal phone also for business calls (unable to decipher which call was which), and the virtual network we used through a usb had so many issues it was impossible to work from home, even though typically it would be an ideal situation. Got a second cell phone line and there were so many technical issues, it was nearly impossible to get work done."
"Excellent work environment with room for advancement. I currently work as a management development representative for GEICO. During my time there I attend various leadership trainings and sales seminars in order to properly perform my duties. I conduct sales calls throughout the day selling homeowners, renters, jewelry and identity insurance."
"Geico started off as the best job ever. Licensing is hard but it felt good to push yourself to new limits and learn so much information. It wasn't until training started that you realize what a mistake it was to take this job. During training, they teach you how to speak, what to say, how to answer, and where to find about 40% of the answers to questions you will actually get while on the phones. Then, after 6 weeks, you hit the phones. You are taught to be a robot. Someone who eats, sleeps and breathes only if and when Geico tells you to. You don't even get a day off or a sick day until 6 months on the job. Any day, or minute you are not at work counts against you. They have changed the dependability policy recently but now you must use your 30 minutes of breaks allowed in your 8.5 hour day to go to the bathroom. So once your 30 minutes are up... you are stuck attached to the phones for the rest of your shift. Being someone who already dealt with anxiety, I was forced to leave my job in order to save my own life. I would walk in feeling great about myself and my job, only to be knocked down for not answering the phone the correct way or for leaving someone on hold for 10 seconds longer than allotted. This job is suffocating, micromanaged, depressing, and unbelievably toxic. I wouldn't recommend this job to my worst enemy... UNLESS you are hired on the outside as upper management. Management is the only position at Geico that gets any respect. 0/10 recommended to anyone else."
"I love the company; I do wish there were less red tape and more employee appreciation."
"I've been with GEICO since 2011. GEICO is a good company, but I am tired of being in the call center environment. After a while it runs you down. Not a good job fit for me."
"I would not recommend Geico as a long term career move."
"Geico is a great place to start your career, and I feel it starts the groundwork for pursuing a career in the insurance industry."
