I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Prudential (Newark, NJ) in Jan 2019
Interview
Contacted by a regional recruiter originally, then passed on to a local recruiter where you go through a series of interviews. Very friendly and positive throughout. You have to know what you are talking about though and cannot BS your way through.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Prudential
Interview
I was told twice that there was an option for base pay over the phone interview. At the in person interview told strictly commission and I would have to pay for all the test. Definitely not worth the drive and time.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Prudential (Birmingham, AL) in Mar 2018
Interview
The interview was relatively relaxed and easy one-on-one with manager. It was a process of getting to know the firm and understanding who I am and how I can benefit the team.
