Working as an Associate Financial Rep at Northwestern Mutual - Recensione dipendente - Associate Financial Representative Gen Securities Registered presso Northwestern Mutual

Great culture, attentive leadership, and lots of career advancement opportunities. People first mindset from leadership, strong mentors for new employees that genuinely care about growth. Strong national support network for both financial advisors and recruiters. Compay is 169 yrs old but still feels young and fresh.

Both the recruiting role and advisor role are difficult positions that take a lot of mental resilience. As a result of this, turnover can be high. Each location is run by a different leader which greatly shapes the culture and employee experience.

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.

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.
