Pros

You'll get a lot of experience you can sell to other employers. I never had trouble taking time off for vacation or going to a doctor. Everyone aside from upper management are amazing people. This includes the odd fact that middle-management was great, which is very uncommon in my experience. Some jobs are fulltime work from home.

Cons

Executive Leadership: A new CEO was brought in two years ago from Berkshire. He had never worked at the company and his background is that of an investment banker not a CEO. This has resulted in a lot of layoffs to make balance sheets look better. The people who weren't laid off quit in droves. The pay was always a little low, but the stability is gone so its no longer worth working at GEICO. The workload will be too much to stay on top of.

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

Interesting problems to work on. Good benefits. Decent pay.

Cons

Managers will gaslight you and upper leadership is constantly changing, so expect projects you're working on to be thrown out every 6 months. Many people burn out and quit after some time and are never back filled, so you'll be expected to take on their workload. Some of my colleagues were working 80 hour work weeks to keep up with the work load and yet told they were not performing well enough. There also wasn't much diversity.
