I would Sell geico to ALLSTATE because they're bETTER. They off er free or reduced lunch.

This was all remote due to Covid, but I have to agree with other applicants. Huge waste of almost 3 weeks. I applied for the Auto Damage Adjuster position. No experience was needed. Or so it was by the job posting. Went through the initial online assessments. Did the 'recorded' interview a few days later. (They will tell you it's 25-30 min. For those who actually plan your day, plan for an hour to an hour and a half just to be safe.) Then was invited to role play a few days later. This isn't a problem, except the job was being presented as 'no experience needed.' So what was the 'role' for this no experience position? As an auto damage adjuster. (I'm not making that up.) Not just an adjuster, an adjuster who is at the end of their day, one hour to go, with four tasks that include writing damage assessments, and taking three live phone calls from people that you have to either 'negotiate' settlements with or explain to them what they're getting and why. The paperwork is in there, but you have to find it, and decipher very specific info from these forms you've never seen, while negotiating with them, real time. And there's very specific rules to negotiating that you must follow. And oh, turn in completed paperwork before the simulation is over. Yes you are given 35 minutes to read and 'absorb' a 13 page set of 'instructions' that lay out the very detailed policies and procedures of the company before you begin the 'role play', (and you can take notes) then you're thrown right in with phone calls. You're also 'sharing' a screen with your assessors, so know that if you're using a mac, there's a delay in your inputs on their pc, and they won't take that into account at all. I understand the idea of 'stress test', but this is just setting competent people up for failure, and then blaming them when they don't do well. It's a waste of time for me because if I had known (a) they were looking for experienced applicants or (b) fulfilling some requirement to interview X number of people or (c) whatever else was going on here, I wouldn't have applied at all, and taken another position that i was offered (which is gone now) and not be starting from ground zero. But I can reapply in 12 months

Profit sharing, good pay and extensive training to do your job well.

Just depends on when the next class starts. I was hired on May 3 drug, background and credit check came back May 13, next class doesn’t start til June 10th so about 10 days

If you can even get passed the over 40 questions on thier online evaluation, which is obviously a way to filter out thier apparent bias. Totally disappointed on thier hiring practices, especially for a company that grew from supporting government workers.

The overall interview experience with Geico has definitely been a very long winded process! They have you complete multiple assessments after submitting your application to see whether your responses are fitting for the role in which you're applying. I believe there was two assessments before I was contacted to set up a phone interview with a hiring recruiter.. After this first phone interview, I was prompted to set up another interview with another individual that was referred to as a hiring supervisor. After completing this interview, I sent a link for another assessment to complete before being given the opportunity to set up my next interview.. After successfully completing this assessment, I was contacted to set up a virtual interview which was conducted by two present representatives of Geico.. in this interview, they asked questions in regards to my background, future plans and had me complete "role plays" in which they read scenarios from customers and wanted to see how I would respond/go about assisting these customers.. After this interview was over, they offered me the position on the spot and let me know the offer was contingent upon a background check and drug test.. They conduct their background checks through a 3rd party organization and that took a few days due to them having issues verifying some of my previous employment history. However, once that was complete, I was then prompted to go take a drug test.. This company requires hair follicle test as their form of testing.. so overall, its a long process.. but I believe the position and everything the company has to offer is welllll worth it!

Yes. They revoked mine for being right on the line of negative/positive and I hadn't smoked marijuana for years before the test was done.

Yes hair test
