We believe in investing in our associates so they can be at their best for our members. One of the ways we do that is by offering a competitive benefits package. Known as Total Rewards, this package encompasses compensation, benefits, plus learning and development opportunities. These benefits are designed to help you live and work better.

Our Total Rewards package

Nationwide offers a variety of paid time-off options and you earn them as soon as you start working. It’s our way of saying we appreciate your commitment to your job and that we’re equally committed to you and your family’s well-being. You’ll also receive up to 10 paid company holidays each year.
