Pros

Food, food, and more food. Current HR staff and benefits being replaced with Northwestern Mutual. Near subway. What others are stating in the negative reviews are true. Was told by talent that they monitor the reviews and heard them tell others they better not write a review.

Cons

Integration work is always ongoing and constant. As others have said, busy upgrading Northwestern Mutual to a product that works. All focus is on them and Learnvest is put on the back burner. The office is intense and projects are crazy. Executives still seem clueless on what they are doing which has been the norm these past several years. Still a lot of confusion and mismanagement. No open lines of communication. Cloak and dagger.

Pros

Got an office manager so we now always have great food and snacks. Free lunch once a week. Paid full time for part time work.

Cons

Not been stable. Constant change and no clear path. A lot of hype and talk about NM leading into the buyout and talks and promises afterwards. Still a lot of change and BS from management. They say there is transparency but not really. New management in operations and sounded good at first but now back to normal. Seems like NM is the focus and regular LV is left alone. Lost many planners to the transition team or quitting. Impact of losing lots of staff after the transition can be seen in felt. people mumble and complain a lot behind close doors but know that it goes no where with management. Not a place to grow in your career. Recommend to people in year 1 or 2 but after that go to a planning firm to grow. Company is automating the whole process. Did not come here to be a non-thinker. Treated like we don't have brains.
