Pros
There are good people that work at Nationwide. I have a great set of coworkers (always have, in every role), and my boss is fantastic.
Cons
Absolutely, without a doubt, the biggest issue in that place is the senior "leadership" in the company. I don't think you could fill the smallest conference room at Nationwide with the total number of decent leaders that are part of senior leadership. They go out of their way to make working for Nationwide a miserable experience. Raises and promotions are nonexistent, yet we always have money for extravagant engagement outings and worthless trinkets that they plaster our desks with. Speaking of engagement - for a bunch of so-called intelligent senior leaders, I find it amazing that they can so grossly misinterpret engagement numbers and feedback from their employees. There is a single question in our yearly reviews that can completely negate a year's worth of work. That question is the manager's opinion on if the employee was engaged. If it is a no, kiss any pay increase goodbye. They encourage us to answer our engagement surveys honestly, yet if you are not engaged, you get shafted. Oh, engagement surveys are anonymous? Sure, try working on a team of 4 or 5 people and have your survey be truly anonymous. Upset your manager in any way and "No" on the engagement question is all the retaliation they need.
