Pros

I like working for Northwestern Mutual because they are the number one insurance company in the country. They take pride in their clients, ethics, and employees. Every Managing Director and Managing Partner strives so hard to make Northwestern a growing and exciting company. I enjoy the clients because you are there to help them achieve their financial goals and welcome them to the Northwestern Mutual family. Working here is really like working with your family. We all are always willing to help everyone in the office with whatever they need. The training program for our interns in a great program to be in also. Our Managing Director takes pride in those programs.

Cons

The office staff and assistants need a little more training on certain programs in the general agencies.

Pros

I would have to say that it is a very supportive atmosphere, and that you are able to rise above the level of your abilities if you so choose. I would also say that they have an outstanding benefits package. As well as the company's annual event. They have always seemed to do a great job, at least the situations that I am aware of, of providing a great work/life balance.

Cons

The two major downsides for me, and this may just be the particular department that I am in, but much like it's name implies, it's quiet. Secondly, the parking is not ideal, but I knew that going so it was not a huge surprise for me.
