Pros

Benefits are decent. Health insurance, dental, 401k, etc.

Cons

Excessive workload. No cost of living adjustments to most salaries. Associates who take vacation or approved FMLA are held to the same productivity standards as those who did not take any time off. If you take time off for a surgery or vacation, you are less likely to get a raise because your prod will be lower. Employees are being forced to return to the office 2 days per week despite being told previously that we could permanently work from home if we met certain standards. Many departments have had better performance since working from home and many of our biggest competitors offer permanent WFH positions. GEICO offered short term disability benefits for one year through the Hartford. Employees didn't have a good experience with the Hartford. Instead of using a different method to offer STD benefits, they eliminated STD altogether. GEICO used to offer profit sharing and has eliminated the profit sharing program with no type of bonus to replace it. Our CEO has received a 13.6 million salary two years in a row despite the company taking record losses in 2022. Sadly, GEICO is no longer the company it used to be.

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
