Just wanted to vent after leaving
I left after being a top performer. I’m realizing just how much Geico undervalues the people and employees who hit those targets and those numbers and in general. Especially after how unattainable they’ve become.
Yeah, ACE and EPR gets a bonus, but with it being heavily taxed at over 40% automatically, it really gets cut it in half. That’s something that Geico changed. I was told they used to give you extra for tax on bonuses to guarantee you got your full bonus amount.
That 30 cent raise while they’re paying new hires who won’t stay more than two weeks more than tenured higher tier agents and top performers are making currently in the same role.
Of course they took away profit sharing and the pensions.
What else? They maybe give you, what, an hour off of the phones to have some food and get a home printer certificate?
There’s agencies out here sending top performers and their families on multi-day vacations, giving them additional guaranteed paid time off, scheduled down time, allowing them to make their own schedules, and paying out high bonus incentives on top of it all.
Now that I’m on the other side, I’m really seeing just how messed up this company is and how much they really do the bare minimum if not less for their employees. They’re really good at trying to paint those rose colored glasses and making you feel like they’re doing you a favor. I promise you’re worth more than that.
