Northwestern Mutual Employer Reviews

Great company to work for, outstanding business culture and core values throughout the entire company which shows in its customer reviews. Best thing learned while employed is talking to people as if they are human, they might not fully understand at first your intent, but doing what is right for that individual is what it is all about. The best part – more...  about the job is getting your clients to start thinking strategically with their finacial planning and witnessing that ahh ha moment when they realize what they are capable of doing. – less

Good job opportunity i love working hard so if you can work very hard you can succeed. Takes many long hours and long work weeks. You also have to pay for alot on your own

Good internship. Great internship to learn about financial products and selling.

A typical day at Northwestern always started with a business meeting of what all we had scheduled. It was a very difficult job for me going out and seeking potential clients for insurance policies, but I learned that I had to put that aside and do what i had to do. The most enjoyable part of the job was hearing the clients stories, they were so touching.

A typical day at work was answering the phones and helping people with their policies. I learned the ins and outs of life insurance and what changes could be made. My co-workers were friendly and willing to help. The hardest part of the job was answering the phones back to back. The most enjoyable part of the job was actually helping the clients with – more...  their policies and solving problems. – less

even though it is just a internship but i'd appreciate the time spending over there. I have learnt a lot from them.

Great place to work. Exciting environment and great people.

I love this company it is great to work for them! Wish they were closer to home!

Management is very supportive and aids in your success. Great mentorship program.

This was a horrible experience for me. I was the receptionist and I was to report to the office manager. She was horrible. She sat in her office and looked at her daughters myspace and other websites all day. She would give me her work with no explanation on what was to be done and I would have to either figure it out myself or ask someone else what – more...  was to be done because she would not answer my questions. I put in my notice that I would be going back to school in a month and by the end of the week she called me into her office to let me go. No real explanation. It was bizarre and all around not a good experience. – less

excellent company, make your own hours, most enjoyable part atmosphere

The agent I worked for needed to improve on their people skills. This was a position that once I started was not what I expected nor was it what I was lead to believe it was going to be. I did not have other co-workers it was just the agent and me. I learned about life insurance.

Most of the job required answering phones and doing mass mailings.

This was a great company to work for, but honestly the culture of the representatives and management is so competitive they easily betray each other over if they have an opportunity to advance. Not everyone is like this here, but too many are for my taste. And there is a serious lack of training to really prepare you meet the clients needs, only to – more...  sell them something. If its too good to be true then chances are are it probably is. – less

Toss you to the wolves. I personally liked it because I was an entrepeneur. The work was tough and they help you along the way. Getting the lisences were the hardest part next to getting broke family members and friends to buy life insurance. Getting referrals is extremely difficult. Don't believe the hype, take the program for what it is.

It was good to see what goes on in the insurance sales industry. Just not a good fit for me.

Northwestern Mutual is a great company to work for. I liked that I was able to get out and meet different people. However, it is a tough market to get into now since the economy is down and people do not want to spend money on things they don't think they need.

Great company! Fortune 500 company that is ranked in the top 10 in its industry.

Great Company great reputation takes great care of its employees.
