Pros

(Note - title has changed to "Case Advocate" or something like that - this is the position that works on Life New Business polices before and after the underwriter makes a decision) -steady work -I was able to work overtime when I wanted -Nationwide has a guaranteed benefit pension -401k match was decent -tuition assistance

Cons

-lack of development options - there was no good career path beyond the "senior" entry level job, it was like "if you want another job, go find one - there are thousands here" (yet they worried about retention too) -favoritism did play a part in hiring/promotions -salary was not the greatest -could be a pro for some, but people who were bad at their jobs were allowed to stay after making constant mistakes and causing everyone else to do more work leads to a lackadaisical mentality amont people prone to it (they know they won't be fired) and causes resentment among people who do work hard -difficult technology rollouts -for promotions, it was expected that you had shadowed and reached out to the hiring manager 6 months in advance or something, and have shown interest long before the job was posted - this is never written anywhere or explained at any time, but I heard the HR people openly laugh at people who didn't understand this

Too much restructuring

Pros

Great coworkers, managers, benefits. Pay was fair.

Cons

Constant restructuring. Lack of vision. One quarter it was one direction, 6 months later a change in philosophy. Constantly shifting leadership, but quick to cut the “worker bees”.
