Pros

- Benefits and work life balance

Cons

- Very political, more focus on who you know versus what you do - Leaders are afraid to improve as they are very risk adverse and stuck in the past - Leaders are all in self preservation mode and are primarily driven to maintain what they have versus doing the right thing - Short sighted leaders with no "balls" to speak of. Great place for spineless passive aggressive individuals to thrive. - Old school company (publicly says all the right things but privately worships the days of the past and remind me of a high school football player who longs for the days of old ) - Words are louder than actions - Value is placed on what you say and how you fit in versus what you do and how you perform - Lots of back stabbing at executive levels and a large number of disingenuous leaders - Massive egos at the executive ranks - Executives can be bought - not so much literally but figuratively. Again massive egos, if values and pride are nonexistent then the sky is the limit.

Pros

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.

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
