      Pros

      If you are willing to change positions or locations there is plenty of room for promotion/advancement. Educational reimbursement is a great benefit

      Cons

      It is difficult to advance in the same career path due to limited upwward mobility. managers who want to stay put block those coming up and keep others from advancing- very protective of personal territory

      Pros

      Nice facilities, gym, cafeteria, free bus transportation downtown, associate groups. These were a few things that made it nice to work for a big, bloated company. Also, in contrast to where I work now, I can appreciate the performance review process. It by no means was fair, but at least there was one.

      Cons

      Too big and too many senior leaders. Granted working in Iowa wasn't the greatest place, but the attitude of the leadership was sooo much better than that of Columbus leaders. I felt like at least I had a vaild opinion speaking to Des Moines Senior Leadership. Another con is that this company underpays. I did not realize it until I got a generous job offer somewhere else. Turns out what I get paid now is standard for my position, but is $15,000 more that what I was paid at Nationwide. The last con I can think of is the reorgs...I was in one position for 2 years and had 3 different VP in that time span. People did not necessarily leave, just reorged with different responsibilities. With a new senior leader, there was always a different vision, it was just hard to keep up.
