GEICO to add 100 employees

The fourth largest private auto insurer in the country plans to add 100 more employees to its Coralville location, the manager said Thursday.

Dina Pon, manager of GEICO insurance in Coralville, said the extra jobs will be for entry-level sales and service jobs. GEICO already employs 300 in Coralville.

"We're growing our service operation," Pon said. "Essentially, we have a need for service professionals."

Pon said the location hired 88 people last year and was chosen by the company to grow because of "better-than-average" sales and service results.

Pon said recruitment efforts have started with GEICO representatives attending career fairs at the University of Iowa and the University of Northern Iowa.

The location wants people with good attitudes, weekend availability and flexibility, Pon said.
