Pros

The benefits package is not bad, it's better than not making any money at all, and the name brand recognition is a good thing to have on your resume when you move on to a better company and position.

Cons

Too many negatives to list. Overall just a horrible work experience with low morale everywhere due to extreme micromanagement. I took my job skills elsewhere, increasing my salary from the over 30k I made at Geico to over 65k at my current job, and I'm eligible for a promotion to 75k in Fall 2012. I am well educated and hardworking and I came to make nothing short of a long-term career at Geico but they were more concerned about tracking my bathroom time (trust issues much?) and squeezing every breath I took into something they could quantify on a daily spreadsheet. I am exponentially happier and more productive since leaving that place and many of former coworkers did exactly the same thing.

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
