Business Outlook

Pros

Great training courses, development opportunities and salary fits most positions!

Cons

Some positions are limited to development because of the job families it falls into. Some areas have been tainted by re-organizations within Nationwide, so the confidence of job security is a concern.

Great Claims and Customer Service - Not easy company to work with as an Agent

Associate agent

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They have good rates and offer good discounts and incentives for clients. They offer 24/7 phone access for any client needs. Rates and bundling policy discounts are good for sales.

Cons

They have very few underwriters and not all underwriters or service reps are on the same page. For an agent Nationwide is a very difficult company to work with. Expect to do most work on your own and figure out most stuff on your own. Also, they are very strict about writing business but demand you write a bunch of it. Also, no benefits offered from the company.
