What do you like about working at GEICO?

"If you are willing to work hard you can seriously make a ton of money. You get your regular pay no matter what, but if you exceed your goals you get a monthly bonus on top of it. No joke, some salespeople at GEICO make six figures working on the phones. No cold-calling, so people who call in are nice; I've done cold-calling in the past and it was awful--it's nothing like other call centers."
