Vantaggi
If you are relocatable or located in Columbus/Des Moines, there is a lot of opportunity for advancement and lateral movement to a new department.
Svantaggi
This is a company with strong associates/direct managers, but is an unfortunate example of how poor corporate leadership leads to constant strategy changes. It’s an insurance heavyweight that has been far too slow to adapt to a changing market and truly lacks the vision to correct its trajectory. Financial plans are set based on what leadership and “the board” WANTS to happen as opposed to what WILL happen. Expenses are so far out of whack with the market, and their solution is to create a bunch of new departments with catchy names that make it seem like NW is far more relevant than it truly is. They can’t go 2 years without a complete shift in long term strategy. They are flailing.
