Working at GEICO in Atlanta, GA: 2 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Atlanta, GA Area

"Working for Geico is like being an indentured servant instead of an employee. You have to work at least 60 hours a week to keep your head above water while being paid for 38.75 hours. Prepare to be micromanaged as you never have been before while management listens in on your phone calls and explains to you why you failed to persuade the customer to accept a substandard repair of their automobile as per company guidelines. Company benefits such as profit sharing and tuition assistance seem great at first until you realize that these benefits are rarely paid to anyone due to high employee turnover and lack of time to do anything but work for Geico. The Human Resources dept keeps pumping in positive feedback from our new employees on all of the job review websites to keep the scam going. They will all be tired, frustrated, and burned out in less than 2 years from trying to meet impossible goals and expectations."

"I started working at Geico as a referral from a friend/manager there. He quit within a month of my starting. I was re-assigned to a different manager. Things started out fine then that manager resigned. So, I was re-assigned to a different manager. A pattern began to emerge. All the managers and employees worked until they were 100% vested in the 401k and then quit. I now understand why. It is a toxic work environment that starts at the top and works it's way down. The Lean Six Sigma management methodology is lacking, to say the least. Do not trust that your manager has your best interests at heart. The managers only look out for themselves. And, I found out later, they employ a group whose sole purpose is to deny workers compensation and unemployment. So, if they treat there own employees that way how do you think they treat the customers? If you have any survival mechanism you will jump ship as soon as your manager singles you out otherwise they will financially ruin you while you try to defend your reputation. But, the co-workers are great people. Really, compensation is not bad but they are understaffed and overworked and you better not complain. Even one complaint to the wrong person will get you fired. Basically just do not talk to anybody. Do not trust anybody and keep looking over your shoulder for the guy that is out to get your job. Then you'll be just fine"
