Former Employee – worked at Nationwide
Pros – I got to work with this company when they were first starting out, so there was a lot to do with very few employees. However I must say it was very exciting to be part of a company that grows so quick, and rewards their employees accordingly. They also provide thorough training for their employees which is awesome, you get to learn a lot.
Cons – There is no real excitement at the workplace - it's the same day in, day out. Can be very fast-paced and stressful on some days, then not much to do on others.
Advice to Senior Management – Build more tiers in management, that would help employee morale. But I'm sure that'll happen anyway as the company keeps growing.
– I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Nationwide full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Great Company, Good Benefits, This company knows how no treat employees. ZERO micromanagement.
One of the best companies you can work for. Very Professional environment
Cons – Chances that you are going to grow . 1/10 . sometimes you will have 50 people applying for one job. Not take it wrong is all because is a great company and people works there forever.
Advice to Senior Management – Promote people or have an entrance exam for new positions , not just networking.

Current Employee – been working at Nationwide full-time for more than a year
Pros – Lots of opportunity for personal growth. You can take on-line classes to build business acumen, join resource groups, or utilize volunteer opportunities. All of that is definitely encouraged within the company. If you have the drive to do well, you can succeed in this company.
Cons – Can be pigeon holed into just one area of the company. If you start in claims, it's more than likely you may stay in Claims for the duration of your career. Same goes for Underwriting, or otherwise. If you want to try something else within the company, you may want to job-shadow with somone in that area or read about it.

Current Employee – been working at Nationwide full-time for more than a year
Pros – Treats employees incredibly well; offers a wealth of opportunities and career paths; really encourages employees to pursue the area of practice that interests you most; nice on site gym; really supports and promotes healthy living for all associates
Cons – No significant cons behind those common at any workplace; though most coworkers are great, there are bound to be some you don't appreciate; parking is bar far the biggest con... but that will likely be the case in most larger cities; student program could be a little more competitive as well
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
