      Pros

      When hired in I LOVED my job, now I'm stuck working here and I only do it for the paycheck!

      Cons

      NW does NOT value people! NOT flexible! Horrible life/work balance! Employees are treated as numbers! NO open communication! If you say how you feel it affects your raise. FAKE! Taught to be FAKE! NO integrity! Stripped loyal employees of seniority. Vacation scheduling is AWFUL! Pathetic raises! Supervisors don't do their jobs! Upper management only care about saving money! NO fun! NO laughs! Depressing place to work! Unhappy employees! NW only cares about money! If you want a rewarding job and to be treated like a human do NOT work for Nationwide! It's getting worse every year!

      Pros

      Extremely flexible schedule, not very difficult, over all comp is competitive.

      Cons

      You are penalized for going over goal. You have bonus opportunity but if you beat your goal the company raises your goal (success tax). This creates an effect where if you continually hit your goal you will make less and less money each year because your salary and bonus potential doesn't increase but your goals due. Factor in inflation and rising goals and you will burn yourself out hitting higher an higher goals while making less money. Company doesn't reward experience, pays everyone exactly the same.

      Loves newcomers to use unique skills to accomplish big things...but only for so long...then must play by the rules.

      Pros

      Opportunities for new upper level hires to make a difference early. Clear strategy from the top. Lots of good people across the organization. Many chances to move around through different disciplines, especially if you are willing to play the game the "Nationwide Way".

      Cons

      Must be willing to adopt the "Nationwide way" after the first couple of years or opportunities will thin out along with advancements. Don't make long-timers look bad by accomplishing too much too quickly once you're past the 24 months mark. If you really want to succeed, must be willing to play the game based on the rules as written even though you know things could be better - and without too much effort.
