Pros
Pension and 18 days of Paid Time Off (if you get to use them)
Cons
Company does not live up to its values that it preaches to its associates. They claim it’s a Great Company “for me, my family, and my future”; Great Opportunity “for my career and well being.” Then... they put you on Catastrophe duty (CAT duty). Which is whenever there is a catastrophe that affects a large number of policyholders your are expected to work 7:00am-7:00pm 7 days a week for 28 days. Which is fine if there is a major weather event that needs additional help. Now Nationwide has not been able to staff appropriately so they are putting associates on CAT duty to cover the lack of employees during normal business times. There are some people that have gone on 6,7, or even 8 CAT tours this year. This means that They have spent 6,7, or 8 months working 7:00am-7:00pm 7 days a week! I don’t even know how this is legal let alone meets Nationwide’s standards of “well-being” for employees or let’s the associate have any kind of work life balance. It’s also a viscous circle, you go on CAT because Nationwide is short staffed, people quit because they have to keep working CAT. Management is so out of tough with their employees it’s insane. Like the title states, do yourself a favor and avoid.
