Northwestern Mutual reviews

The company essentially runs a complex pyramid scheme. You will be told that you will build a financial planning practice, but you are actually just selling life insurance. People here are all about the money and give salesmen a bad rep.

Completely lied to since day 1 of the interview process. They make you believe that you will be helping your friends and family while making a lot of money, but at the end of the day, all you are doing is being forced by higher-ups to push expensive whole life policies. They expect you to obtain 60 new clients in one year, which is absurd for someone who is fresh out of college that does not have a strong network of people who have money. The training is a joke, its two weeks of sales tactics and nothing about the products. They practically force you to do joint work, which means you have to split half the commission. After a month on the job, you have called everyone you know and are at a crossroads. The people prey on young college graduates to obtain new clients.
