Pros

I believe that Northwestern Mutual has proven it's record as a great place to work. The people I work with have always been supportive of my efforts, and work together as a true team. This is the first time in my work history that I can truly say I found a place of employment that has provided me a solid foundation. Northwestern Mutual has been truthful to employees in its promise to help its employees grow in their career expectations, and has provided a promising future.

Cons

The only downside with Northwestern Mutual has been my daily long commute to work . The increase in gas prices has been hard. The counter-balance of the work atmosphere and dependability of the job far outways any negative attributes which have arised in my career. If you give your best at Northwestern Mutual, the return you receive brings personal reward and satisfaction.

Pros

This internship has allowed me to get real world experience from the very beginning. I've learned how to use LinkedIn Recruiter, make scheduling and screening phone calls, and gotten to shadow the Director of Recruitment during interviews. Compared to other internships that I applied for, Northwestern Mutual has allowed me to have far more exposure to what a real career in recruiting could look like. The office has a great energy and culture, and I am able to participate in fun team events, like going to the Cardinals baseball game. As for career growth, I really admire the emphasis that Northwestern Mutual places on growth and development. Through my time spent around this company, I've been personally and professionally challenged to grow. I've been given books to read, attended leadership meetings, and been given the opportunity to dive deep into my strengths. The management here has encouraged me to explore and shadow different roles to help me make an informed decision about what kind of careers I want to pursue after graduation. Overall, I can't recommend this company enough! They are truly focused on serving their clients well, and developing employees to reach their full potential.

Cons

None, I've had a great experience! This is an environment of growth, so it can require moments of being challenged and stretched to do things outside your comfort zone. I could see some people being uncomfortable with growth, so it's not the environment for everyone! But if you are willing to lean in, it will make such an impact on your life.
