i worked at geico for just shy of a year and it was absolutely the worst fucking job ever after training. every day i would go in miserable and come home miserable. not to mention i lost my voice at least once a week, plus you deal with the biggest scumbags from nyc, nj and ct on the phone. the job is call after call usually like 2-3 hundred in cue on an avg day. the plus is i got a shift which was 4 ten hr days it was the only thing i liked about the job. my suggestion is work there for 4 months or whatever it was until training is over then quit. its easy as shit, and pretty interesting at times plus you get a decent paycheck/benefits. feel free to pm me for more dissapointing news on the job you are looking at… ---

Ahh I see I see. Right now I’m on unemployment, as I have been since Nov… But I’m bored to shit, so I’m trying to get something to keep me busy until the construction area picks back up from this ghettoness of the economy. How was training? was it bearable? Because Mid April-May area is when I’m looking at being back to my regular work. Hell, I have a drug test for Valvoline tomorrow. Going to work there for 8 bucks an hour changing oil just to keep busy -.- > [@bigwoode](#): > > Out of curiousity, do they go through many employees? I think so… But walker would know more than I. Since they are always spamming radio commercials saying that they’re hiring. ---

This is the email they sent me, then when I called he said the same thing as part of his speech. **Starting Pay $13.97 per hour/ 28,140 per year NON-NEGOTIABLE** 10% NIGHT DIFFERENTIAL OFFERED FOR 2ND SHIFT i think they said 33,950/yr for 2nd shift (which is what i wanted) edit; he did say a long list of benefits, but said that during the phone interview that stuff would go in to detail. so im not sure how much health insurance they pay and such. ---

geico blows…they take forever to settle accident claims…waiting over a month to get a check to fix your car isnt right. on a side note, apparently working for them blows as well. ---
