Northwestern Mutual Reviews

Pros

Over the past 5 years I have been working with the firm, I have grown to understand more about how Northwestern as a platform to begin and grow your financial advisory business seems tough to beat. While NM has allowed me exclusive access to their insurance and investment advisory platform, they also are not captive to just their products and which helps me feel confident when doing financial planning.

5 years in so far and I have yet to run into a situation that I had to question any ethical or moral move that NM has made. With them acquiring learnvest to turn themselves into one of the largest tech financial firms in the US, I am excited to see where they go over the next few decades.

Pros

Northwestern Mutual is a leader in the financial services industry. They offer candidates and clients alike the best possible outcomes. Candidates that move into a financial planning role are given one of the best training programs in the country, they have an excellent compensation program and make an immeasurable impact.

In my role as Director of Recruiting, I am able to use my past experience in sales and recruiting to drive the recruiting strategy for an entire district network office, and it carries over to our network office.

I truly feel like I am giving candidates one of the best possible career paths out there.

I can leverage a team of advisors, as well as my own personal and professional connections to drive recruiting results.

Great flexibility in using my own ideas, and my leadership team empowers me to make my own decisions and own the recruiting cycle here.

Great compensation program if you're hitting your goals.

It is incredibly rewarding to see someone leave a corporate america job to join our team, and improve their overall lives ten fold.

Outside of several legal requirements for applicants to get licensed, I am able to have a conversation with all types of people in all types of professions and really help them analyze what type of career they are looking for, and help them make a career change to a company that is going to give them unlimited opportunity to build a satisfying career. Many recruiting roles, you have a laundry list of requirements for different jobs. I don't have as much political red-tape limiting me from talking to great candidates about career opportunities with us.

My leadership team really cares about my growth and development, they put lots of time, energy and resources into my continued career growth. I am challenged to reinvent myself and allowed to use my talents to accomplish our goals.
