Pros

The internship training was in depth, helpful, and thorough. Northwestern mutual does a great job of helping to develope you as a financial representative.

Cons

They fail to mention that the majority of the calls you make the person will want nothing to do with you. Never have I tried harder at something with zero to no success.
