Vantaggi
GEICO has very good benefits and profit sharing which is always nice way to start a new year. The salary in this position is competitive when it comes to estimating with an insurance company as opposed to a repair shop. You can fast track yourself into supervisor positions rather easily because they are always looking for that. Management is suportive and overall GEICO is a good company to work for. There are some downsides however!
Svantaggi
Here are some downsides in this particular position. The work/life balance is trash. With your set schedule it is almost expected of you to continue working until everything is completed for the day, or you'll get put behind on the next day when the claim load doesn't stop coming in. Often times you are put behind schedule due to other people's errors or the errors of a repair facility. You will not be paid overtime for this work. They will attempt to force you to work overtime on weekends with the bonus of actually being paid for it. My schedule is typically 8:30 to 5:00 Mon/Fri and I often times will not be finished until 6:30-7:00 through no fault of my own. They will say the claim volume is high and request you work weekends. Working without pay is the single most discouraging thing a company can do to you and for some odd reason it's legal. They do offer an overtime based on half your pay per hour but it will effect your metrics they grade you on which is a slap in the face. For this reason alone turnover is extremely high which causes employees to pick up more work because of staffing.
