Pros

Mos people there are friendly. Work life balance is adquate.

Cons

Stress over upcoming layoffs. Promting the wrong people. people who actually do work but want to move up the ladder being passed over. Systems are a joke. Rasies far below a cost of living. For an insurance company the health insurance is a joke. You now have to give out personal health information or they will raise the amount of your health insurance. There is more time spent on the internet that people doing work with the managers looking the other way. People who want to get out cannot. The end

Pros

Nationwide used to have a great name in the insurance industry -- sadly, that is no longer the case. I am a retired Nationwide employee with 40+ years of service, and I cannot honestly say at the present time there are any good reasons to work for this company. When I was first hired by Nationwide, the company was great and I was very proud to work for them. The pay at that time was adequate and the benefits affordable. Management at that time appreciated and applauded the effort of the employees; and pay increases, although in small increments, helped to offset inflation.

Cons

Employees not treated fairly and equally. Very poor management. The MBOs are never given out to the employees in the first month, or even two months, of the new year. Most likely, they are received in May or June of the year in which they are to be accomplished. Then, they were changed two or three times after that. Senior claims management are too scared of losing their jobs to stand up for their subordinates. Honestly, this company just simply does not have any direction at this time and are "flying by the seat of their pants." Very sad, but true.

Pros

Coworkers are helpful, and if it wasn't for them I would not know what I was doing when I first started my job as I did not receive much training. Also, the claims managers in my office have been helpful, and understand our concerns and problems with this job. They will try to fight for our side to management above them.

Cons

The salary is poor in comparison to a lot of other employers of insurance claims representatives. No work life balance with this company. Nationwide wants top noch customer service, but is not willing to hire the needed staff to meet the work load and demands from the customers. This is not a place for working mothers.
