Northwestern Mutual Reviews
Rating 3.91 out of 5 23 reviews
While feigning an open and welcoming environment, North Western Mutual is still a large company with profits over the individual employee. Leadership at my particular branch has been unclear and at times confusing regarding expectations and goals the department is striving for. They have expanded beyond their means to become yet another unsustainable corporation in a dying industry.
This company is caught between two places. It needs to evolve with the times and meet the needs of the modern client, and yet it's struggling to move past its history of being a predictable, paternalistic business, depending on one sales distribution model that it does not own. This is no longer a "mother mutual" company that provides regardless of employee performance, but it is also quite a ways away from being a modern, empowering organization led by thought leaders who have a clear vision of the future and the experience and conviction to execute on it. This has created confusion and frustration amongst employees and reduced speed to deliver. Time will tell if the organization is able to sort through this and come out with a strong, organized, change-able and empowering climate of execution.
Northwestern Mutal is a great company that is stable, concerned about cultivating diversity and sensitivity in the workplace, has great support staff in the home office, is involved in charity and giving back to the community.
