Great internship experience!!

Anonymous Employee (Former Employee)
Richfield, OH

I worked at National Interstate as an intern for less than a year

ProsCan really make a meaningful impact as an intern. The opportunity to gain experience in many different areas.

ConsWith all the regulators insurance companies have to report to, there is much more work to be done then the average accounting job. No flex time.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Glad to get out

Anonymous Employee (Former Employee)

I worked at National Interstate

ProsPeople are fun to work with.

ConsBasically everything else besides the people. Pay isn't great and if your in the "in" group you will be promoted otherwise don't get your hopes up.

Advice to Senior ManagementTake care of your employees more and they may stay around longer.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

A good company to work for.

Marketing Representative (Former Employee)
Richfield, OH

I worked at National Interstate

ProsSenior management is very accessible.
Nice size company that is growing.
Typically hard work is rewarded as long as the employee can stay focus.
They appreciate their employees

ConsBonus checks have gotten a lot smaller for the lower level employees. Some managers are more attentive than others, but this is sure with every company.

Advice to Senior ManagementGet more employee input before moving team members from one department to another. This could diminish morale. Overall solid company to work for.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Average company

Senior Claims Examiner (Current Employee)
Richfield, OH

I have been working at National Interstate

ProsFamily feeling setting but way behind the times

ConsTerrible in thinking outside the box

8 to 5 no IF's ands or but's

NO FLEX TIME.
 If you are late because of snow or traffic, you better use PTO time

This company refuses to bend on flexible hours even for experienced salary employees
Way behind on the times in trying to be automated
They still use paper and their computer / technology is from the 1980"s

Advice to Senior ManagementFLEX TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good first impression but quickly realized many problems within the company

Claims Adjuster (Former Employee)

I worked at National Interstate full-time for more than a year

ProsFellow employees are willing to help
Location

ConsManagment is more concerned with internal numbers then helping or backing up employees
No training on insurance policies or procedures
No flex time
Hours are long and there is not compensation, perks or even thank you for extra hours
Little to no direction from management, all help comes from fellow employees which is not always correct
For size of company benefits are expensive, 401K is a joke at yearly contribution

Advice to Senior ManagementGood people are leaving due to management and lack of training. Focus on training current employees and not how many new hires are coming in every month. Update your benefits and outlook on flex time.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
