Vantaggi
Geico moves fast. Interviews fast. Hires fast. Trains fast. After being employed by GEICO you will begin to understand why everything is so fast...high employee turnover. Poor Geico, 12 weeks of training and your employees leave you before a year is up.
Svantaggi
Revolving door job. High demands, but low pay. Expect to be embarrassed on a regular basis in front of your peers. You will be constantly "coached," but never good enough. How is it possible that Geico hires competent employees but it is impossible to be rated a 5...and nearly impossible to be a 3? This is one of the only (if not the only) insurance companies that expect the auto damage adjuster to do 3 jobs. In auto damage you will appraise damage, settle your own total losses, issue payment, deal with companies that owe the IRS, and a bunch of other admin work that's impossible to keep up with. When they tell you that you only need 4/5 claims a day...try again. I was told that I need 7/8 (because they are short on staff and overbooked on claims). Expect them to work you into the ground. Geico is responsible for creating alcoholics, and have seemed to successfully changed nice happy people to mean and unhappy. Overall morale is low. Bravo Geico! That has to be some sort of record. Stay away unless you are starving or behind on rent, because this will be the hardest you've ever worked for 50k. When you quit body shops and other insurance companies will recruit you offering much higher pay ($65k-$115k) consider their offer, it can't be worse then the job you already have. The best 2weeks of my life were when I gave my notice to Geico. Good riddance!
