Vantaggi
Some of the nicest people I have ever worked with. Many of whom I would want to know outside the organization.
Svantaggi
Things have not been good here at Nationwide for the past 3 years. New CEO and his team have allowed the company to lose focus at a time when it could have been planting the seeds for success when the economy comes around. Takes FOREVER to get anything approved and then execution invariably falls apart. Slow moving, resistant to change, unwilling to try new things and a long history of sticking with policies and practices that do not work. Senior management (of which I am a part of) does not play well together and the company seems to attract extremely passive aggressive people. There seems to be a willingness to change but I don't see anyone leading the change. People are genuinely nice, but many many many are incompetent and HR—especially the new HR head—hasn't done anything to attract and retain good people.
