You're Just A Number - Supervisor GEICO Employee Review

-No stable scheduling. As an insurance agent you won't get M-F for at least 5 years unless you're a top performer, you'll get anything you want. As a supervisor, expect having split days off until you're there for 10 years. -Extremely micromanaged, my director/manager yell and me to yell at my associates for using time to go to the restroom/taking a few minutes extra on a break or lunch. -Goals are constantly and dramatically raised with little or no time to prepare my team or associates. -Once you're a supervisor, really no place to go since manager is selling your soul to the company. -Underpaid for the amount of work done. As a supervisor you run a team of at least 10 associates and do as much work as people who are managers in other companies. The worst part is maintaining associates HR issues with leave and chasing down your associates to come to work today. -Lack of appreciation for associates and supervisors. Managers and Directors create a work environment where success and accomplishments are expected and not celebrated. Company culture that constantly focuses on what you're doing wrong and not doing enough. Complete lack of positive reinforcement and even when you are doing well, it's not enough. -An illusion of a "meritocracy" where people are promoted based on qualifications. Directors know who they want as supervisors and managers and only hold interviews to make the selection process seem like a competition. -The company is extremely cheap considering they made $20 billion in 2013. When we get free coffee in the department, it is celebrated like Christmas. Good luck trying to get some pens, paper, or a decent keyboard for your computer. You'll have to buy that on your own.
