Room for advancement outside CRE, great culture overall the work life balance is great. Pay and benefits are competitive. Nationwide as a whole has a fantastic Culture, however not all departments are equal.
Cons
its hard to write out cons, overall I really enjoyed my time at nationwide. However the department I was in was ran was ran by a clique IE high school drama and gags. if your in, your in.
-For the most part, the people you work with are good people. Made real lifelong friends and mentors.
-As with all large companies, there are plenty of opportunities to advance and/or move around if something isn't a good fit.
-One of the rare places still offering a pention
Cons
-Office politics promote plenty of people who don't deserve it and the teams happiness is highly dependent upon who you end up reporting to
-WAY too much false urgency created by bad leaders
-Big company means slow moving in all the stuff you want to go fast. Often times too many cooks in the kitchen
