Pros
Nationwide used to have a great name in the insurance industry -- sadly, that is no longer the case. I am a retired Nationwide employee with 40+ years of service, and I cannot honestly say at the present time there are any good reasons to work for this company. When I was first hired by Nationwide, the company was great and I was very proud to work for them. The pay at that time was adequate and the benefits affordable. Management at that time appreciated and applauded the effort of the employees; and pay increases, although in small increments, helped to offset inflation.
Cons
Employees not treated fairly and equally. Very poor management. The MBOs are never given out to the employees in the first month, or even two months, of the new year. Most likely, they are received in May or June of the year in which they are to be accomplished. Then, they were changed two or three times after that. Senior claims management are too scared of losing their jobs to stand up for their subordinates. Honestly, this company just simply does not have any direction at this time and are "flying by the seat of their pants." Very sad, but true.
