Pros

They pay a lot better than other large companies in the area. Good location in the Arena District. Great cafeteria. Many amenities onsite - gym, dry cleaning, cafe, pharmacy, etc.

Cons

Prepare to be surrounded by incompetent men. The glass ceiling is alive and well at Nationwide. I knew many female employees who were significantly more qualified than their boob bosses. My boss was a male, my boss' boss was a male, my boss's boss' boss was a male, my boss' boss' boss' boss was a male, and my boss' boss' boss' boss' boss was Jerry Jurgensen - a male. The only females on my team were at the "specialist" level. Men would get together in meetings and discuss marketing cammpaigns targeted at women without a woman in the room - unbelievable!

Pros

The benefits are pretty good. The vast array of individuals you work with is a pretty good thing. For the most part the structure is excellent. -

Cons

I can't speak for the departments I don't work in, but in the Security field the opportunity for advancement is minimal at best. The flow of information is very bad. Pay is subpar. A vast amount of things are expected of the officers, but compensation isn't an option. When I was hired for this position the Minimum MRV rate was higher than what I'm actually being paid. And a new position is listed that is almost 5k higher than what I'm being paid and it's the same position I hold. Zero explaination as to why I might see something like that.

Pros

It's better than being unemployed.

Cons

Lack of leadership integrity, upper management is top heavy, promotions are granted by who you know and not what you know, jobs are eliminated at the same time executives are receiving bonus checks, good talent is being "downsized" to make way for bank buddies to be hired...
