Overall a great company to work for. However there are transition pains from old school Nationwide to something they want to be. Very political / process driven.
Great benefits and pay, however the job can be very stressful due to too much work and too little time. Often find myself working well over 45 hours a week.

Job security and advancement
In many areas leadership has no clue what they're doing. This company re-orgs every year to cut costs and lay people off. Lots of cliques in upper management as well. May have a vision but nothing gets accomplished therefore the layoffs start.
Management
Too many cliques. They laid off 100s this year yet promoted a very incompetent leader. Doesn't make much sense from a business perspective
Overall
After over 15yrs with this company my team was eliminated due to poor leadership. I've been through too many reorgs to count. All this company does is reorg and cut jobs.
Overall it is a great company to work for. It has a positive environment and culture. The company is focused on being there for it's customers, supporting and paying it's employees fair wages, and have work facilities on within buildings.

Nationwide is transitioning into an independent agency and it is up to the owners to accomplish this. My agent was wishy washy and no new business was coming in.
It's an insurance company, and it is not publicly traded. It is slow moving and safe and extremely relaxed - which also means a bit less to do for interns than would have been appreciated.

Great place to work
A great work environment. Plenty of opportunity for growth and mentorship. The company values its employees. Gives back to the community. Puts the customer first and supports it agents.
ProsGrowth, professional development, great benefits
On a team level, things are great. The higher ups push policies that limit job growth. Hiring freezes and job cuts prevent employees from making career moves.
Went to Nationwide for Stability: Layoffs, Layoffs, and more Layoffs
Overall, from the standpoint of benefits and pay, Nationwide provided decent compensation & excellent benefits for the roles I undertook. And I was lucky enough to have some very competent and caring leadership most of my time with the company. I learned a great deal, and was actually being trained for Six Sigma prior to the announcement of pending layoffs. And, once the fear of layoff is established within a company, it loses a lot of its engagement culture, and morale dips. One should never be forced into a situation where he or she has to apply for nearly every available job posting to secure their future with the company. Sales positions were cut, retention positions within sales were cut, PLSC positions were cut, and property claims intake positions were eliminated, as were field claims roles - these all included leadership positions as well. Shift differential was removed, licensing was sacrificed, and demotions offered with acknowledgement that no raises would happen the ensuing year or two. This does not promote a positive atmosphere. During my time, I was blackballed by a department whose leader was "friends" with my worst supervisor - a supervisor with whom I talked to for a total of maybe 30 minutes in 10 months! I simply asked why I wasn't chosen for an interview for a position within that department based upon my qualifications, and what I could do to insure an interview next time - the response was that the manager of that department felt I believed I was "enti

What is the interview process like at Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company?

Many situational questions, i.e. tell me about a time when…, so be prepared with scenarios and use the STAR method when answering. Have a 30-60-90 day action plan, leadership loves them. Email it, along with your resume, to each person who will be in the interview (or bring copies with you if in person).

What advice would you give the CEO of Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company about how to improve it?
Asked Feb 21, 2018
The field employees are your key to success, as they are the eyes and ears of the company and the face of NW! Listen to them (though not the complainers and “needs improvement” ones as they are lagging intuition. Pay them well, train them well, acknowledge and recognize them very well, and treat them as precious assets to NW because they are. Otherwise other companies will grab them and you’ll be left with lazy millennials with no work ethics to run your main part of the company - out in the field employees. I love my job here, but we are very aware on the front line what the CEO is doing snd the decisions that are being made. Stop losing your good people.
