allright B’s and G’s. im considering a career change. For those that are on here and work with me (u know who u are) dont start spinning up the rummor mill. It’s just a consideration not a concrete thing.

Alas my question…

Is Geico a good place to work? How are the benefits? How’s the job security? Is there a monthly quota of some sort you have to meet? Also what are the basic requirements as far as customer service experience is concerned?

Im sure ill have more questions to come, but these are the basics for now.

2

What kind of work are you trying to get into with them?

3

irls.

my dad’s name is EARLE, but he doesn’t work at geico…

4

no, its some sort of indy racing league insurance

5

honestly…what i have heard about geico is that IF you end up being hired, and they keep you, its a great job. but what they do is hire like 20 people at a time, keep them a month, and then fire all but maybe 4 or 5 of those 20, keeping “the best”…which sucks because alot of people leave a good job to work for geico and then end up unemployed

6

i have not heard good things.

7

i know they have IH for insurance :gotme:

8

i have not heard good things either

9

Idk if I believe that

10

Common big business strategy.

11

Yeah but not with those numbers he gave. They only keep 25% of their new hires???

12

I have no heard good things either.

I heard they give you like 9 interviews just to tell you no.

Also heard the pay sucks and they dick you around with it.

13

Heard you cant call off for the first year and vacation is also very limited

14

Sounds about right if they aren’t pulling their weight and they can just sort through another new hire class a few times to get the number of good agents they want.

15

i was told the #'s were lower then that like 5-10%

16

thats just with any full time job. you need to acquire vacation time by working a year.

17

this is true, a friend of mine had first interview, 3 phone interviews, another one-to-one interview, drug test, another interview…and a letter that said thanks for applying but we cannot hire at this time.

18

I have a degree in auto body and 2 years in the field and they still wouldn’t hire me as a field inspector/appraiser or otherwise. i think they want someone with out an education.

I was kind of pissed. but what ev

19

i know quite a few people who have landed customer service jobs there. they made it through the trial phase and are permanent. if you can’t make it through the applicant pool there to make it permanent, you’re an idiot and probably didn’t deserve the money they pay.

if these people can do it, you should be able to also. keep in mind the place is very strict from an HR standpoint, so if you like to fuck around at work either stop or find a new place to work.

My brother has been working there for about two years now and has already made some decent advances with pay raises along the way. Supposedly benefits are decent but I did hear the interview process is a bitch and they do only keep like 25% of new hires or something like that… But if you make it through the process it could be worth it…
