Pros

Great products to work with on the annuity side and some good life products. Good commission schedules...Very financially strong and stable company to work with, which is important to show clients. Access to a lot of local farmers through the farm bureau.

Cons

If you work for a primary agent, then they get all of the bonuses for your products, which can actually be ok depending on how you are getting paid by them. Some life products/and fixed annuities are not very competitive...current nationwide clients get wrapped up in the p&c side of the business, which can sometimes make it more difficult to make financial sales.

Pros

In spite of its ups and downs, Nationwide offers more stability than most companies. If you do a good job, stay under the radar, and have no fantasies about moving up the ladder, it's a tolerable place to work.

Cons

Pay and benefits are mediocre. The associate bonus plan is a joke. The culture doesn't foster growth and change because there are too many people who refuse to see the old way of doing things doesn't work. There is also a feeling of paranoia which prevents people from expressing honest opinions.
