Pros
Good base salary working as a planner assistant
Cons
Toxic! It’s unhealthy. It’s draining and stressful. Straight cold calling to people that never pick up the phone or will curse you out. It’s not financial planning, just selling whole life insurance. It’s really a numbers game. I wouldn’t want to work for a company that’s so numbers driven that they forget about their employees that’s slaving over the phone for them, while their out having personal trips or at home chilling with their feet propped up. Not only that, they will quickly terminate you if numbers not up. Like you can’t blame the workers because your suspect clients isn’t picking up the phone. They will use and abuse the interns to set appointments for them. They also switch up from the initial contract that was given. So when you start, the contract may say one thing to reel you in, but after while they start switching it up. If you decide to take the job, still have another job on standby. I got so many people that told me good luck on the phone and wasn’t interested or pulled their money away from Northwestern Mutual. I’m glad God decided to shift me to better. This was too toxic. I knew it was unhealthy when I had to pop Benadryl at night just to sleep from the stress and to have peace. Stay away! I’m just trying to save somebody from the headache.
