I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Vernon Hills, IL) in Aug 2025
Interview
"I was scheduled for my “final interview” Monday at 11 AM. The recruiter emailed me at 7 AM saying I didn’t do enough work on one of their homework assignments. “Good luck with the rest of your career” Frankie said. The assignment in question was a list of 100 names numbers and addresses to fill out. He said this was just for me. I filled out as many contacts as I could, but I didn’t reach 100. Frankie texted me at 7am and said I failed to meet the requirements for the final interview. This company scammed me for my personal information, plain and simple."

Interview
The onboarding program immediately felt like an MLM. The interviewer was nice, but I realized this was not the right kind of job for me. They want you to sign people you know (parents, grandparents, siblings, etc.)
I applied online. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Frisco, TX)
Interview
Nice office and the initial interview went well. Then I was handed off to someone for a second interview who had no idea I was arriving. Account executive is a fancy name for someone who just. stands outside a Sam's club offering insurance.
