      Financial Representative Interview

      Jun 26, 2009

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Gurnee, IL) in Jun 2009

      Interview

      Had an interview, which seemingly went well. The HR recruiter seemed to like me and the interview itself lasted over an hour. Was given 2 profile assessments to take from home at the end of my interview and had company information e-mailed to me as an attachment. All good signs. Was told that once my assessments were received, the HR recruiter would e-mail me to tell me what happened next, regardless of if they wanted to set-up another interview or if they wanted to tell me that I wasn't a good fit. Never heard back. Pretty unethical if you ask me. Overall, seemed like a great opportunity with a reputable company. Not just selling to your family and friends. My opinion, however, took a turn for the worse when they didn't get back to me when they said they would.

      There were four or five interviews, if you count the meeting with my future mentor. There were also a few personality assessments. Lots of paperwork. The finance industry is tightly regulated.
