Women's Job Satisfaction (5=very satisfied)

January 1970
The job is hard and it's so much harder as a female. If you have a good support system and can be okay with not being perfect (or get over it as quickly as possible), you can do very well here.

Recommend to Women?
Maybe. Most of the financial advisers at NM are male and it is a culture and system that has been created to help men become successful. Feedback is mainly given around numbers and men like to parade their numbers around. As a female, you will often be asked whose assistant you are and there is an assumption that you are not an adviser. It can also be lonely when you find yourself the only female in a room, which will happen more often than not. There is also no maternity leave. That being said, for the women who are able to survive, this can be an awesome career where you get to impact many people and have the potential to make a lot of money.

Flexibility depends on the department you’re working in. Overall great place to work.

The culture is white male dominated. I didn't feel like my opinion was really respected.

The sales contest rewards are predominately male oriented. The national company is making management aware of changes needed in order to recruit and retain women.

They promote women within to leadership opportunities and also provide a lot of support for women throughout the company. Very male dominant from years past, but the women across the country are incredibly talented and it is a great network to work with.

overall it's a good company but depending on your style of learning and family/work balance it may not be the right fit. Over the past 5 years the company has slowly moved into lean management (metrics vs personal). When interviewing be upfront with what you need and ask those difficult questions so you are not surprised.

There are not many females in the financial representative role. You have to be a strong, determined person to work in the career. You make your own hours/ schedule, it is commission level which is great because there is not ceiling how much you can make. Great company to work with.
