Former Employee – worked at Nationwide

ProsI 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.

ConsThere 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 ManagementBuild 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 a year

ProsLots 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.

ConsCan 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

ProsTreats 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

ConsNo 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
