      Customer Service Representative Interview

      9 Mar 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Coralville, IA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at GEICO (Coralville, IA) in Mar 2012

      Interview

      The interview was extremely time consuming. I received a 30 second phone call asking me to come to an interview--the position was not discussed at all on the phone, I was just told to come in for an interview. At the beginning of the interview, I was asked to read a brief summary of the positions offered at Geico and directed to answer questions on the back of a company brochure. Next I watched a fairly generic video about Geico. The video was awful--super boring and the cinematography was horrible. The lens of the camera kept wobbling around, which made it look like people were floating around on a cloud in the room. For a company with so much money, I expect better advertising. Then I completed a typing and mock job computer test that consists of fake phone calls by customers with insurance concerns; you have to listen to a mock call and simultaneously enter information into the database. It's nervewracking, but they don't expect that you will be able to do it perfectly. After that, you fill out a 118 question personality assessment to see how well you "fit" the role of a customer service representative. If you pass the computer testing, you will have three more interviews. One with Human Resources, another with a manager, and the last with a call center supervisor. You will also "jack in" with a rep. before your last interview. The interview questions are totally vanilla--exactly what you would expect. Why do you want to work for Geico? How do you stick out from the other candidates? Describe a time when you were unhappy with a situation at work? What was the outcome? What three personality traits do you possess that will make you successful in this position? How have your other positions been similar to the one you are applying to now? How do you think you will deal with irate customers? Can you handle the hours? Do you anticipate any issues with being late or unable to come to work, especially in the next few months? How long do you see yourself working in this position? Describe a time when you gave exemplary customer service. They will also read some quotes on ethics and ask you how you feel about them. Anyway, blah, blah, blah. None of the questions are difficult if you know your work history and can bull a little. To prepare for the interview: Go over behavioral interview questions. Know your work history. In particular, be able to refer to specific instances from previous jobs--"There was one time when..." or "I was unhappy with...and this is what I did to resolve it..." "Customer Service is like _____ because I got to +++" After the interviews, there is a background check that includes employment history and credit, as well as a physical to "make sure that you can meet the physical demands of an office job", and then there is a drug check. I failed one of these, not sure which one, and guess what? I don't even care because after all of this I didn't even want the job anymore. In general, this interview process was a pain in my arse and totally not worth what the company was going to pay me. Not to mention that I felt like I was being scrutinized by big brother--who in the heck makes their employees go through a physical and a personality test?!? I felt like I was being put through the ringer. The whole process was kind of degrading and little bit dehumanizing. I wouldn't recommend it if you have a shred of integrity that you want to hold on to. Another point to consider is the: Almost every person working there was overweight, the lighting was horrible, and the calls are back to back. The pay isn't that great and a lot is expected of you. You cannot be late or miss any work for the first six months, and the hours are weird. It is a high stress work environment and your supervisors might be as intense as the ones I met (One of them didn't look away once during the interview--I felt like we were playing the staring game--and I totally lost). I'll put it this way: YOU CAN DO BETTER!!! After 6 hours (over the course of two days)

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at GEICO (Tampa, FL)

      Interview

      It was a weird process, first it was on zoom and my interviewer told me to turn off my camera because of the bandwidth issues. Then she asked three questions and provided me the job description and the hours. She then asked me if I was looking for other work and If I was currently working. I did tell her that I am currently working and she told me that I have enough time to provide my current job a two weeks notice. After the interview she told me that she was going to endorse my application for review. Then she sent me another email saying that “Your recruiter will be in touch with you for next steps”. Then in the middle of night not even 24 hrs, I get a generic email saying that I was passed on. I wanted to find out why did I get an email saying that a recruiter was going to contact me, then I passed on from someone else. This was a customer service position and during the interview she told me that I have a lot of experience. I just didn’t like during that interview I was given false hope. I would not recommend applying to this company.
