Northwestern Mutual Employer Reviews

Great company with great people, am industry that is needed, but is tough to work in. Not for everyone, but for the right person this can be an amazing career.

Northwestern Mutual is an amazing company with a great heart and a perfect mission "to enrich the lives of those we serve". The value of constant mentoring and the easily approachable leadership team have made working for the company a wonderful experience that I feel is few and far between in Corporate America. My co-workers and I work together to – more... achieve the agency's recruiting goal and strive to help each other grow through constant coaching.The hardest part of the job is the long hours, but that is said with a grain of salt because the work is so enjoyable. The best part of the job is most definitely the work culture. – less

Great experience learning about insurance and financials. Spoke and met with clients daily. Fun co-workers. Overall good experience.

There is never a dull moment at Northwestern. This company thrives on helping others with what they cannot do themselves.

Cold Calling to sell insurance is not what this job is. Its for the independently motivated worker who wants to be well compensated for accomplishing goals

Promote themselves and help you succeed, but was all commission and little beyond that.

• 40 dials and 6 appointment
• 100 lives in your first year
• Great management team

Great Learning experience, good training, coworkers are very willing to help out in all stages of employment

A great company to work for but is very hard to start your own "business"

Strong team-spirit and comodarie. Everyone is extremely willing to help and take the time to invest to ensure your success.

Management is extremely approachable and hands on. They are very engaging and appreciate initiative taken. You will be recongnized for a job well done.

The co-workers were fantastic, everyone was extremely helpful and positive.

Great company to start out and get immersed in the insurance and finance world. A lot of autonomy and freedom to build your own business.

This was a really hard internship and job but worth every moment. I was able to get my life insurance agent license. The hardest part was balancing school with work.

The internship program was a well organized one and helped teach us how to start a business.

Typically, I start the day by answering emails and messages from clients, co-workers, home office and my employer. I prep all the cases for the following day with whatever was case noted from a previous meeting, followed by phoning for appointments to fill up my employers calendar.

• Internship
• Financial Representative
• Developing Personal Need analysis
• Selling solutions for all stage of a consumers life (Risk Management, Wealth accumulation, Wealth Preservation)

Wonderful company with very strong moral values. Management was excellent and easy to work with.

Liaison between clients and the home office on a daily basis
Worked with like minded coworkers that had good work ethics

My typical day was contacting clients and prospective clients setting up meetings for myself. I would spend some of the day actually meeting with individuals and the other parts calling, prospecting and working on data for existing clients. I worked as a financial representative intern and dealt with clients on life insurance, long term disability insurance – more... and long term care insurance. – less

Excellent sales experience at a young age is a wonderful building block for young college grads.

While this career has so many challenges, the rewards are beyond the financial compensation.
