GEICO Careers and Employment

GEICO is very supportive. Being able to build a career at GEICO is in your hands. Their willingness to support their people in all aspects is exceptional.

I would start by paying people for the hours they actually work and not pressure people into working for free off the clock. Then I would hire enough people to do the work. Finally I would look for solutions to make the processes easier and more efficient instead of them becoming more complicated and difficult

Horrible

The interview process took about a month and a half. I had a Video interview and was offered the job on the spot. I was asked multiple questions, why would I want to work for them, and what could I bring to the company. There’s also role-playing and questions about previous employers and your education. After the interview, I was sent a boatload of documents to fill out electronically. I had to consent to a hair strand test, educational background, a credit check, and work history. I’m still at GEICO, and so far, the atmosphere is great. I work at the Houston, Tx location (Katy). After being hired, you’re going to have to get an FBI background check with fingerprints and your photo will be taken at an authorized FBI location (if you’re applying for the Claims Adjuster position). If you’re licensed, you’ll just have to sit through the (paid training) two week class and answer the daily class assignments, reviews, and materials but you won’t have to take the state exam but you will have to get the FBI background, be fingerprinted, and your picture taken. If you aren’t licensed, they’re going to provide paid training for two weeks and you’ll then have to take the state exam to be licensed through the Texas Department of Insurance. Geico is paying for the test and you’ll take it at the site. The test is proctored and they supervise you very closely so there’s no cheating or open book so please study and learn as much as you can because you have to pass the exam and there’s no exceptions. There’s no cost to you so that’s a benefit but it’s an extremely hard test so it may not be wise to let your current job go if you aren’t serious about passing. I passed but if I would have known then what I know now, it’s best to maybe use your vacation hours with your other employer for those two weeks and if you pass the test and want to work for GEICO, resign for the other job because you CANNOT work for GEICO in CLAIMS unless you’re licensed. If you don’t pass, you’ll be looking for another job, you’ll only receive a nice two week check from GEICO, and maybe can’t go back to the job that you left to come to them without reapplying, so think things over because you may end up without a job. Once you get your licenses and experience, you can basically go to any insurance that will hire you. The licenses is All Lines so you’ll benefit greatly because you’re licensed through the state.

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.

Hair sample

Yes there is and this is for the better of the company

They will if prompted.

Horrible interview process, complete waste of time.
