Pros

They pay for insurance licensing, company is growing in other states and could be a good opportunity to move up if willing to relocate, and engagement survey handled by Gallup.

Cons

Expectations high and cause a lot of friction between associates and management. Too few development opportunities on a local level. If a person is honest on the engagement survey the supervisor comes back to the team with a guilt trip about how they'll likely be fired.

Pros

Over the years, people who work here are generally a great bunch. It's the best reason to work here.

Cons

New CEO installed without any reason from the Board; seems like the company has regressed to a more conservative approach. Leadership positions seem to be filled with Allied Insurance people or new people from outside the business. New senior alignment has confused everyone. Doesn't say much for promoting from within Nationwide. Seems like a slow death by a thousand cuts with layoffs in small numbers over the last couple of years. Constant pressure to do more with less; forced ranking of employees regardless of performance to weed people out. Benefits continue to take hits on a regular basis. HR leader seems to play favorites. Focus on improving experiences for customers has ignored feelings of or support from employees.
