Pros

Many of my coworkers are great people. 401k and pension are nice.

Cons

Impossible to advance. Leadership hires their friends or their favorite lapdogs. You can take the courses, training, etcetera to “own” your engagement but it just doesn’t matter. I flat out had someone in HR tell me that the way to get promoted is to leave the company and come back in a year or 2. It’s disappointing because I want to be part of the culture that they purport to have but promotions are impossible to land unless you have a booster pulling strings for you. Pay is low compared to other carriers. My boss (who got his job because he’s a buddy of the hiring manager) is passive-aggressive and acts like you’re an idiot. Also, they try to pass 2% salary increases off like they are a million bucks.

Room for advancement outside CRE, great culture overall the work life balance is great. Pay and benefits are competitive. Nationwide as a whole has a fantastic Culture, however not all departments are equal.

Cons

its hard to write out cons, overall I really enjoyed my time at nationwide. However the department I was in was ran was ran by a clique IE high school drama and gags. if your in, your in.

Culture is great, it feels like working with family. I have a good work life balance.

The pay could be a lot better as the world gets more expensive our pay should reflect that.
