Pros

It is nearly impossible to get fired from Nationwide. You can be totally incompetent when it comes to doing your job and as long as you show up at your desk everyday and don't steal from them, you're in forever.

Cons

Too many chiefs, not enough indians. Nationwide is penny-wise and pound foolish. They will spend just ridiculous amounts of money, following a solution delivery method that makes no sense and isn't improving the quality of work. There is no need to spend thousand of dollars and hundreds of hours to add a period at the end of a sentence for a message printed on a bill or declaration.

Pros

-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
