Pros

they are a financially sound company that should be around for many years to come the upcoming merger of Nationwide Mutual and NFS should help remove some of the short-term focus that has dogged NF of late Columbus, Ohio is a great place to live and raise a family

Cons

their compensation policy is to target midpoint pay levels based upon lagged market studies, so they are always behind in market pay pay is becoming more performance based - unfortunately, this means that you can work really hard and end up with a cut in pay if the stock market heads south or if the wind blows the wrong way

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
