Pros

Flexible work schedule, variety of products available to serve clients

Cons

Lack of transparency throughout the interview process. Not told that Prudential does not even provide a workstation, you are required to provide your own computer. Not told that Prudential charges for use of cubicle space after your first year (CDP Program). Also told that Prudential had as many clients I could handle, only to find out they were all "orphan" life insurance clients that no longer provide any compensation. Most of your time spent on driving to "orphaned" clients' homes conducting life insurance policy reviews with very little compensation. Unless you find other assets to work with you are not compensated for your time, money spent on gas, and mileage on your vehicle. Compliance makes it very difficult to get new life policies approved, many times you put in months of work and end up with very little pay, if any. Poor training system, you only ever see or hear from life and annuity wholesalers, not the place to be if you want to build an investment book of business. Prudential only you pays 45% of your gross production, then asks you to pay for your own E&O insurance, cubicle space, and for access to their systems out of pocket.

Pros

They take you to lunch on your first day. Hybrid 2 days in the office, but I'm sure that will increase. The benefits & pay.

Cons

No training at all. You learn by failed case work and what other coworkers tell you. They expect you to do case work you have never processed before. If you fail too many cases, they put it against you and say your quality is bad. Train normally and the quality wouldn't be bad. If you continue to do "bad", they will just put you on phone calls every day to help rude and mean old people. Upwards of 40+ calls daily. They also don't put everyone on phones even though they say being on phones is an essential part of the job. They pick and choose their favorites to do casework and put everyone else on phones daily. Managers are useless and just sit in meetings all day and don't offer help, training, or guidance. Managers also provide snobby remarks when asking for clarification or help and answer back as if you are the dumbest person in the room and act as if you should already know the answer.
