Pros

Nationwide provides great benefits, flexible schedules and relatively competitive salaries. If you live in Columbus or want to live in Columbus, it is probably one of the better employers.

Cons

It is in a very competitive industry which makes career progression difficult (the company is not growing so positions only open up when somebody else leaves). People are smart but not always allowed to take advantage of that because of the extremely political culture.
