Pros

- Good pay out of undergrad - Ability to talk to upper level management - Good benefits -Good work life balance

Cons

Oh boy where do I start here There are so many things wrong with this program. First off the company treats its employees like they are children. Additionally, the program was very poorly communicated to what you are expected to do, how long your rotations will be, and why you need to do certain things. The program is also incredibly disorganized as well. When I went in on my start date they had no idea that i was starting that day! I had no badge, no packet, no ability to use a computer or anything else for that matter! When you are in this program you are supposed to be considered an important asset for the company, you think theyd make sure you can even get into the building! Also, for my first several weeks I had 0 instruction on what I was supposed to do! I had no management give me goals or work, or had any training available for me. Finally after I get into a training class room and access to use a computer (after several weeks) I went through my first rotation. This rotation was substantially longer than in needed to be and I failed to see why the time there was important. Everyone in this program has an undergrad degree and a high gpa, learning how to do basic functions and use simple software should not take several weeks. Ultimately, if you are looking for some quick and decent pay GEICO is a good company. If you are looking towards increasing your career and skill set, I recommend looking somewhere else as you pick up very little skills that are useful and in demand outside of this insurance field.

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
