GEICO Associate Stories

The series of stories intended to highlight various employee groups sharing their unique lived experiences – personal and professional. This montage highlights portions of stories from the first series, focused on some of our associate's stories.

Jermaine Jermaine Jermaine

Jermaine

Claims Specialist in Austin, TX

Jermaine received his Associates of Arts degree from Dallas College's Richland Campus in June 2021.

"GEICO gave me a convenient schedule that allowed me to attend college. However, the company also provided an opportunity to request a different work schedule if my class schedule changed. I wish there was a 'Jack of All Trades' major, because I feel like I can do everything. I'm currently working on my four-year degree. Even if it takes me another 10 years, I'm going to achieve it."

Onaleisha Onaleisha Onaleisha

Onaleisha

TCR2 Supervisor Onaleisha in Seattle, WA

Onaleisha started at GEICO as a temporary employee without knowing much about insurance, but that did not stop her from pursuing advancement opportunities.

"I learned that's the beauty of GEICO. Once you're in the door, all the training and mentorship programs take over and you become an expert really fast. I was flattered that the place where I always wanted to work actually wanted me. There are so many opportunities to grow at GEICO, so, I stayed put and I haven't looked back."

Ben Ben Ben

Ben

Director of Software Engineering in Chevy Chase, MD

Ben introduced GEICO to the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES), a national nonprofit organization focused on increasing the representation of Indigenous peoples of North America and the Pacific Islands in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) studies and careers.

"AISES is unique in that they work directly with tribes and students in those tribes. I was able to foster that connection into a sponsorship of scholarships and recruiting. GEICO's continued focus on diversity, equity and inclusion makes me proud to work here. I am looking forward to continuing this partnership between GEICO and AISES."

Mike Mike Mike

Mike

Technical Supervisor in Chevy Chase, MD

Mike disclosed his Spinal Muscular Atrophy diagnosis with GEICO upon his hiring. Now, he is a co-chair of GEICO's ABLE employee resource group (ERG) and continues to work with the company to ensure there is input from associates with disabilities.

"Along with several others, I continue to work with Real Estate & Fleet Management (REFM) on these areas for all associates who may benefit from parking improvements, better door opening options and safety improvements in exiting the building. We don't want special treatment, just an opportunity to contribute, and an understanding that we are indeed, ABLE."

Cecilia Cecilia Cecilia

Cecilia

Service Representative in Macon, GA

GEICO's PRIDE employee resource group (ERG) was the first place Cecilia came out as non-binary on the job and was the first time they met other non-binary individuals.

"To see them represented on multiple levels at this large corporation is life changing. It means so much to me to be a part of something like this, that a company gives me the opportunity to be a part of a community so close to my heart."

Felix Felix Felix

Felix

Countrywide Somos CX Manager in Lakeland, FL

Felix started his GEICO journey as a Sales MDP, hired in the Sales Management Development Program with the purpose of creating, building and supporting what is now known as Somos GEICO. Through Somos, Spanish-speaking customers can communicate with GEICO without relying on a third party to translate.

"Seeing how happy our customers and associates are now that we finally have an initial infrastructure for Spanish-speakers is gratifying. Somos makes a difference every day with every single call and interaction we have with our customers. We're counting on your support to continue the impact on our Spanish-speaking customers across the nation."
