Pros

The training is exceptional, I've been with a couple of Fortune 500 companies; UBS, Pershing and JP Morgan Chase and the commitment to excellence instilled here at Northwestern Mutual is contagious! The mentoring of new representatives is the building blocks towards becoming successful in a competitive industry! The mentoring relationship enables a new representative to display the confidence necessary to build the life-long relationships with new clients to build towards the ultimate goal of financial security, I've been privileged to have one of the most successful senior representatives as my mentor and he has done a wonderful job keeping me focused on becoming a permanent fixture in Northwestern Mutual. The reputation of the company is impeccable and it gives value to my position. During our present economic crisis, the need for educated and ethical financial professional is a necessity. At Northwestern Mutual it is a requirement to always do what is right for the client and that's what makes me proud to be a financial representative for the company!

Cons

Honestly, only having 24 hours a day to do my job!

Pros

This internship has allowed me to get real world experience from the very beginning. I've learned how to use LinkedIn Recruiter, make scheduling and screening phone calls, and gotten to shadow the Director of Recruitment during interviews. Compared to other internships that I applied for, Northwestern Mutual has allowed me to have far more exposure to what a real career in recruiting could look like. The office has a great energy and culture, and I am able to participate in fun team events, like going to the Cardinals baseball game. As for career growth, I really admire the emphasis that Northwestern Mutual places on growth and development. Through my time spent around this company, I've been personally and professionally challenged to grow. I've been given books to read, attended leadership meetings, and been given the opportunity to dive deep into my strengths. The management here has encouraged me to explore and shadow different roles to help me make an informed decision about what kind of careers I want to pursue after graduation. Overall, I can't recommend this company enough! They are truly focused on serving their clients well, and developing employees to reach their full potential.

Cons

None, I've had a great experience! This is an environment of growth, so it can require moments of being challenged and stretched to do things outside your comfort zone. I could see some people being uncomfortable with growth, so it's not the environment for everyone! But if you are willing to lean in, it will make such an impact on your life.
