Pros

Tuition assistance, 401k, benefits, amazing relationships with coworkers

Cons

Imagine having someone tell you how to do your job when they themselves cannot open up the computer program to show you how. Imagine trying to remember Underwriting guidelines for 45 separate states you sell in and service. Good luck selling a CA policy mid month and expecting to get paid on it during the same month. These are just a small few ideas of what it's like to be a Nationwide sales agent. Schedules (which primarily involve night and weekends) do not have any basis on sales. Complete lack of communication to sales floor in regards to pertinent processes and changes. The sales agent role is laughable on many accounts.

Pros

Always impressed by the caliber of people I get to work with on a daily basis. Smart, driven people who want to do their best. As important, is our willingness to share information, collaborate and help each other. Each of us is enabled and encouraged to network, learn and chart our own path, this enables us all to be business leaders, functional experts or contributors.

Cons

people have cited lack of promotion potential, I'd say get used to that, its a reality here. And, that the assessment process is lacking - yes, but its being reworked now.

Upper Vs Lower Management

Pros

Wonderful worker-bees. Have met so many people in the past 12 years

Cons

My immediate supervisor is a shell of his former self. Upper Management leadership is lacking--so many different voices trying to be heard. Direction changes monthly with this new objective, then that one. I can tell he's just about worn out from it all--as are the rest of us. Performance Evaluation standards will change mid-year or whenever a new VP comes along.
