Pros

easy going culture, supportive of time off, very flexible, but I may just be lucky in my region, pretty easy workload

Cons

culture does not promote moving around, can become pigeon holed, especially in underwriting, heard it's much easier in the product and finance areas of the company

Business Outlook

Pros

Nationwide cares about it's customers, cares about it's employees, may still care about the community. Nationwide is trying to make positive hanges.

Cons

The pros I listed above I beleive to be true. Unfortunatly, they can't execute because the too nice culture and lack of management accountability is holding them back. Oh, and the max out of pocket for the health high-deductable health plan went up over 80% for 2010 over 2009 with no explanation.
