Northwestern Mutual reviews

- very judgmental - they pick favorites - fake management - hostile environment - looked down upon if you are not participating in their “team building” aka drinking at the bar downstairs after work - will put you in uncomfortable situations - 100% not inclusive for those who don't conform to their standards literally if you are anywhere outside the “norm” (white, straight, cisgender, status quo, attractive by their standards) just prepare to be outcasted - passive aggressive management - also just the fact that you’re trying to sell this job to people usually recent college grads desperate for a job, knowing full well that it’s a scam and if someone starts they are very unlikely to make any money at all, yet your telling them they’ll be making six figures - could probably say way more but you get the point

- Cold calling family, friends, and referrals. -They say there isn't cold calling but essentially its what your doing. -Don't expect to get paid for months. - should have close to if not more than 15k saved up before starting. - If you leave they will bill you for network days and insurance. - they expect you to work 12+ hours a day -very much micro management even though they sell you on the idea of "owning your own business and schedule" you will have to show up for "mandatory" things. They can't say mandatory but basically if you don't show up they will let you go. - They will sell you on the idea that your going to make 200k within 3 years. Don't drink the Kool-Aid. Several advisors while I was there were moving in with their parent, getting foreclosure notices, barely scrapping by and they were doing everything required if not more! - you have to meet minimum requirements to work there. Therefore not owning your own business like they claim. - Pretty much everything they sold me on to get in the door was not accurate and several advisors were complaining to me when I started about how much its not like anything they tell you. - Even if you made a sale you had to wait several weeks before seeing money due to underwriting and paperwork. -basically to succeed you need to be cold calling constantly, have no personal life, and no bills to pay. They tell you right away in training you should be working 12+ hours a day and a minimum 5 days a week to succeed. They think 2 hours a day with your family is enough.
