Build a Career with Impact at The Lowery Group of Fairview Heights

Are you looking for more than just a job? Many professionals feel stuck—trading time for money, lacking fulfillment, and wondering if they’re making a real impact. At The Lowery Group, a DBA of Northwestern Mutual, we offer a different path—one where you can build a business that reflects your ambition, create financial security for yourself and your clients, and take control of your future.

Why Join The Lowery Group?

We are seeking driven, entrepreneurial professionals who want to make a meaningful difference. Whether you’re a career-changer ready to be more intentional about the rest of your career, or a recent college graduate eager to build a business, this opportunity is for you.

A Different Approach to Financial Planning

Unlike traditional firms, our Financial Advisors focus on building long-term, trust-based relationships. You’ll guide clients through key financial decisions, from risk management and investments to retirement and estate planning, ensuring they stay on track as life evolves.

What Sets Us Apart?

Holistic Financial Planning: Go beyond investments—cover insurance, tax strategies, legacy planning, and more.
Pressure-Free Conversations: Build relationships without aggressive sales tactics.

A Compensation Model Built for Growth

Unlike traditional salaried positions, your earning potential here is limitless. Our compensation structure is commission-heavy, providing significant rewards for your efforts, but it is not commission-only.

First-Year Earnings: $75,000 – $175,000+ (average ~$100,000 or higher for career changers).
