Pros
Northwestern Mutual currently enjoys top ratings for insurance financial strength from the four major rating agencies - Standard & Poor's, Fitch Ratings, A.M. Best and Moody's. Although the rating agencies currently have a negative outlook on the life insurance industry in general, we believe our ratings will remain at the top of the industry. Northwestern Mutual's ability to appropriately adjust the dividend payable on its policies each year to reflect the recent financial performance has been viewed very positively by the rating agencies. We are justifiably confident in our financial strength and ability to deliver on its obligation to policyowners.
Cons
Through the ever changing economic environment, Northwestern Mutual sometime struggles to keep employees and financial representatives up to date.
