Great place to work, slow on promotion

Specialist, it analysis

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nationwide is a great place to work. There is are classes to take at Nationwide to improve yourself along with places to move within the company. I started in Microfilm and now I am a Testing Lead.

Cons

Promotions are slow to come if they come at all. Sometimes they have the wrong manager in the wrong job. (Business manager over a group of IT people.) Also once there is a bad egg at Nationwide they don't get fired they just get pushed around from area to area until they quit or they upset the wrong person and then they are released. But more often than not they are here to stay.

Business Outlook

Pros

Coworkers Reputable company Company tries to do the right thing for their employees Lots of benefits, tuition assistance etc. Compared to most insurance companies higher flexibility and innovation

Cons

Strict divison of service and sales hampers smooth customer experience Company used to really listen to what employees have to say about what customers want, now the company seems to be loosing that ability. CEO stays of spotlight, don't know what ranking to give him. He hasn't bothered to give the company's employees a clear direction.
