Northwestern Mutual Employee Reviews for Financial Representative

"I have only worked for NM for four months as a financial rep. They provide great training and assist new reps in several ways. It can be difficult to hit the ground running and takes a determined mindset to succeed. If you follow the advice and training they give you can become successful."

"If you are wanting to get into the sales world and want incredible guidance on how to do it then this is the job for you!"

"Great Company to work for and are willing to help each individual the ability to grow and understand the business model. I recommend this job for young and middle age career goal minded people. The people are making an impact at all levels with the customer and co-workers."

"I've worked with Northwestern Mutual for almost two years now. My co-workers are some of the most genuine people I have ever met and I am so glad that I was able to build strong relationships with most of them. On a professional level, I love working with my clients and helping them achieve their personal and financial goals. However, for me, working under a salary based job can be very fluctuating; some months are great and some months I am under a great deal of stress. Northwestern is the best at what they do in my opinion and I wouldn't refer anyone to a different firm or agency."

"This is a great company. I enjoyed the people and the atmosphere. The job just wasn't for me."

"I worked with Northwestern Mutual for a year and a half. If you enjoy building a bank of business on your own with minimal training, this is the place for you."

"I have worked with Northwestern Mutual for less than 1 year. The training that is provided is the best training I have seen next to the military. The work culture is fantastic and people rely on each other to improve our day. The overall mission of helping people meet their financial goals is rewarding and people who have an excellent network of people should work for them."

"First things first, this is a sales position. Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't understand the nature of the business. That being said, this position is one that allows the financial rep to positively impact the clients for years to come. The training is top notch and the company does everything they can to help a financial rep succeed. However, there are some people who just are not suited for this type of role. I was one of them."

"That is a good company to work for, but be prepared for your own expenses for the first 6 months you are working there."

"I gained exceptional consultative sales experience."
