Internship is a scam - Sales Representative Northwestern Mutual Employee Review

This job is incredibly rewarding, what we do matters and has an impact on peoples lives.

The work is not easy, it takes motivation to power through the slow periods.

I have been an advisor there for about 10 years, 8 years in the full-time role and 2 years as an intern. I now have full control over my day and I’m about halfway to seven figures of income per year, most of which is residual. I have over 700 clients that are in love with the work that we do and find incredible impact with the solutions we can bring them with comprehensive financial planning solutions. I have been offered lots of money to leave, but I will never believe this or organization, you could offer me a $10 million check to go somewhere else, but I would gladly turn it down. I find so much purpose in what I do.

This job is not for everyone! You must have thick skin and an incredible work ethic. It requires 10 to 12 hours of work per day for the first few years. After that you will develop a very good balance.
