Pros

In general, the people who work for the company are great people- fun and caring. Pay is decent.

Cons

Total benefit package is not great and getting worse as the company further cuts the health insurance options it provides its employees. Morale is very low company-wide; the company is consolidating some functions resulting in lost jobs in certain areas. Bureaucracy is ingrained in the corporate culture. Many levels of management means even the smallest changes don't get completed. The computer system the employees use is ancient (DOS-based).

Pros

The benefits were good, and they are good, at least they were in my department with work/life issues. The managment was generaly good. There were quite a few departments that offered varied hours for those that do not like the Mon-Fri weekends off schedule.

Cons

Way to much need for the "Four year degree" to really be considered for advancement. Way too much changing, as far as the way things should be done, we barely had time to get used to one policy before in was changed, this was mainly the case when it came to how to answer the phone, or how to process somthing. They need to remember that we humans are creatures of habit, and it it isnt broke. couldnt we just leave it?

Pros

It is nearly impossible to get fired from Nationwide. You can be totally incompetent when it comes to doing your job and as long as you show up at your desk everyday and don't steal from them, you're in forever.

Cons

Too many chiefs, not enough indians. Nationwide is penny-wise and pound foolish. They will spend just ridiculous amounts of money, following a solution delivery method that makes no sense and isn't improving the quality of work. There is no need to spend thousand of dollars and hundreds of hours to add a period at the end of a sentence for a message printed on a bill or declaration.
