I am looking to stay within Auto claims as an adjuster. I have almost 2 years experience with the entire claims handling process.

I have looked at Geico and know people that work there and they pay less than my company does for the same position. I am willing to take a SMALL pay cut to be happier but this darn mortgage makes it near impossible! Chat Icon

also, i heard they're moving their Woodbury office (to Buffalo, or something like that).. from a freind that works there.

and you can't take off at all in the first 6 months. (though, most jobs are like this- i heard they are VERY strict about it).

Many people at my job have worked for Geico and so did my SIL. Yes they are very strict about time off in the beginning and pay average to low in the industry. The perks are good (profit-sharing is awesome, which my company has too- love it!) but I didnt hear about them moving.. that office in Woodbury is huge!

i use to work there, stopped last year- i shudder every time i hear the name or see the geico commercial. dh warned me about them but i didnt listen

yes their profit sharing is good. On the flip side they are very strict on time in the morning yet, most people work(unpaid) an extra hour or two at night or a day on the weekend to catch up on their workload. and because they have good profit sharing their raises are pitiful. you also acrue your vacation instead of getting it at the begining of the year. and they dont tell you how many personal days you have, your boss decides if its worthy-
and p.s. --- dh aunts funeral was not worthy, so i had to use a VACATION DAY for it

My GF is an actuary and worked in a MD office (near DC). She absolutely hated it. Everytime I talked to her she said she regretted relocated wor work for them. They were so strict with vacation like everyone said. They also are strict with internet, only industry related stuff allowed. Once she met her relocation obligation she went to work for AIG in NYC.
