Pros

they are a financially sound company that should be around for many years to come the upcoming merger of Nationwide Mutual and NFS should help remove some of the short-term focus that has dogged NF of late Columbus, Ohio is a great place to live and raise a family

Cons

their compensation policy is to target midpoint pay levels based upon lagged market studies, so they are always behind in market pay pay is becoming more performance based - unfortunately, this means that you can work really hard and end up with a cut in pay if the stock market heads south or if the wind blows the wrong way

Pros

Somewhat stable as a fairly large company. Layoffs have happened, but typically those laid off have a good bit of warning that it's a potential in their business unit, and personally get 60-days' notice. During the 60 days, receive preferential treatment and assisstance in pursuing other jobs internally.

Cons

Smal profit potential in industry leads to constant expense focus - cutting costs eventually ends up at cutting people. While some of the philosophies, mission, vision, etc. preached from the top sound good, it only takes one bozo somewhere in the senior management chain to stop the actual benefits within his/her span of control.
