Review from IT Dept
Intuitive, caring, genuine, and look forward to working with other people they work with.
They have all been in my shoes, some forget what it was like when they're coaching you in the moment, but overall the empathy is genuine, and the pushing is from the heart.
Review from Finance Dept
Leadership provides helpful training and feedback. The communication within the team is phenomenal, then they communicate with the Advisors right away clearly. They are really helpful and care a lot about the success of the Advisors and staff.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
I am paid for the work I do, not necessarily the work (or lack of) by others at NM.
The pension plan and bonuses. There are multiple bonuses for my job and Northwestern Mutual offers a great pension plan. Our advisors have an unlimited income potential, while Northwestern Mutual compensates staff above market value for our roles.
The annual bonus is always a nice addition to my regular yearly compensation.
Retirement, Health Insurance, Unlimited income potential

They provide value in both my professional development and personal development. It doesn't feel like work meetings, it feels like a group of close friends meeting to discuss office improvements and the wellbeing of our Advisors, and office. The leadership team really cares.
My team is collaborative, smart and just fun to work with.
Support each others businesses and innovate together

What did you like most about the interview process?
The ability to meet several people from the team.
Review from IT Dept
They asked questions about what I was looking for in my future plans.
It's a long process but after starting here, it makes sense. The fallout in our industry is really high so they make sure to bring in the right candidates. They are very thorough and selective to make sure their incoming Advisors are successful.
Interviewing with people at various levels - my future manager and their boss, as well as interacting directly with future teammates to get a feel for the team dynamic.
Very thorough. Very informative m
