Pros

Wish I could say I had the pleasure to state some pros.

Cons

The hiring process is if you have applied and did not pass, apply again 6mos from the first application date. I have been attempting to get a job since 2015. I know very well I am qualified. 6mos ago I made it through to the onsite testing. I did not pass one half of the test, so I was told that I could re-apply 6mos later. Here it is, 6mos later..I re-applied, with the same work history. The only thing that changed was that I am now licensed in the state of Florida and Texas. Which you would think a company would appreciate. Less money they have to spend for licensing.... This time when I applied I was not given the opportunity to take the assessment which is part of the application process. Instead my application was immediately denied and when I spoke with an HR rep (because I thought there was a glitch) she was not only nasty, but her exact words were "There was no glitch, we reviewed your application and decided to move forward with other candidates". Now, I applied with the same experience that I had previously. So, to receive that response with nothing more was very unfair. So, technically there is no 6mos grace period. If you fail the first time, that was your final chance.

Pros

GEICO is one of the largest employers in my smaller town, so I've heard all the good, the bad, and the ugly. What a pleasant surprise it's been working here! There is so much intentional change to create a great employee experience and get the right team leaders in place. Highly recommend not putting too much weight into older negative comments if you're thinking about applying. I've been very happy with my salary, the benefits/time off, culture, and leadership (both locally and senior leaders). I feel like there's a lot of room to continue to grow my career here and I see the same opportunities for others.

Cons

Really nothing major that I can think of!

Pros

Strong opportunities for career growth Many people are willing to mentor and support others without expecting anything in return Supportive culture, even from people who may not know you personally Increased focus on education and development, especially for leaders More company activities at the local office, which has been a welcome change Fun associate engagement opportunities like escape rooms, art activities, games, and food events So many opportunities for recognition

Cons

There are still some areas where the company appears to be rebuilding trust and confidence Change is noticeable and appreciated, but some improvements are still in progress Feedback has clearly helped shape recent changes, and it will be good to see that progress continue
