Pros

Northwestern Mutual shows care and concern for its employees, encouraging the highest level of work, yet understanding that people have lives outside of their jobs as well. Praise and recognition is given where due, and employees acorss the organization seem truly proud to work for one of the oldest and largest life insurers in the country. In general, it is a very positive working environment where care is taken to let employees know of the opportunities that are available to them. Particularly in this uncertain economic climate, it is reassuring to work for a company that we know will be there tomorrow, next week, next year and beyond.

Cons

As in any large corporation, there are many layers of red tape to cut through, and "political" sensitivities to be aware of.

Pros

Freedom, company values, entrepenurial, and unlimited earning potential. Northwestern truly personifys doing the right thing in the business world. I have never seen a company bend over backwards to take care of its clients and do what is in their best interest like Northwestern. No matter where you go in the country, you encounter the same selfless behavior. Those all too familiar with corporate America will think it is too good to be true. A classy group of highly motivated, intelligent, successful, and giving people.

Cons

This career is not for everyone. You must be a self starter and work extremely hard to build your business.
