Nationwide reviews

Overwhelming workload, consistently short staffed, no work/home life balance, highly stressful and demanding. Managers don't manage, they supervise. Nationwide seems to be the grandfather of the insurance world, they are apprehensive about change, and once they are forced to change to adapt to technology, etc. they overhaul everything rapidly, at once and expect nothing less than perfection during the transition. Not very diverse when it comes to gender or race. They don't have their employees best interests at hand. It's nearly impossible to be spontaneous with vacation time and if you leave the company before 5 years, they don't cash out your vacation time or allow you to take it--they absorb it back into the company as if you did not earn it. They are very mechanical and stiff with it comes to their employees interests. It's hard to move around within the company unless you are willing to relocate.

not enough time to accomplish tasks. late hours. not a lot of empowerment to make decisions on the fly. too much emphasis on customer service not technical skills
