GEICO Work Experiences

Great launching place for insurance career

Emerging Leaders Program: Operations and Technology • Former Employee

Pros: A great place to obtain industry knowledge for insurance. GEICO is cutting-edge in the insurance industry, and there is a wealth of knowledge to be gained. The mentorship and leadership exposure provided in the Emerging Leaders program is second to none, and it provides a great launching platform for a career in project management, insurance, and operations management.

Cons: GEICO does a great job providing a foundation for learning and growth, but the flame can burn out after a few years. Many things about the company (salary action, workplace culture) are archaic. I would suggest this job as a great place to start, but once the well runs dry, you'll find exit opportunities that are much more fruitful.

Great Advancement, High Pressure

Emerging Leaders Program: Operations and Technology • Current Employee

Fredericksburg, Virginia, United States

Pros: Good pay and benefits. Profit sharing is nice. There's a lot of opportunity for advancement.

Cons: Very results-driven. Varies per month, and it doesn't matter if you were good last month; you always need to be on top of everything.

Great for entry-level opportunities, but draining in the long run

Emerging Leaders Program: Operations and Technology • Current Employee

Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States

Pros: Lots of experience in a short period of time. They keep a tight budget and do not want to have to hire non-foxhole roles if they don't have to. So, if you're willing to work the extra time to do additional projects for added experience, then this place is perfect.

Cons: Extreme micromanagement, poor/dishonest communication for the Emerging Leaders Program, and an expectation to have one person do the job of multiple associates with the same salary.
