Pros

The benefits are pretty good. The vast array of individuals you work with is a pretty good thing. For the most part the structure is excellent. -

Cons

I can't speak for the departments I don't work in, but in the Security field the opportunity for advancement is minimal at best. The flow of information is very bad. Pay is subpar. A vast amount of things are expected of the officers, but compensation isn't an option. When I was hired for this position the Minimum MRV rate was higher than what I'm actually being paid. And a new position is listed that is almost 5k higher than what I'm being paid and it's the same position I hold. Zero explaination as to why I might see something like that.

Pros

Unlike many places, senior management here are genuinely nice people. Nice people really do finish first here. There is a big coaching and feedback culture here. Nationwide has a sterling reputation in Central Ohio due to its generosity to various charities. You will be expected to contribute to various charitable campaigns (particularly United Way, which is a really big deal). But this is a good thing. You will see a lot of people who wear Nationwide logo shirts out in public. People are proud to work here.

Cons

The silo mentality is a reality. This is a big company, and it feels like it. Information sharing between departments is nonexistent. Some departments hoard information, but this happens in almost every corporation.
