Pros
Newark location is convenient if you live in Northern NJ with convenient parking on premises, or for NYC residents because of Penn Station nearby with free shuttles from there to any of the Pru buildings. Pension plan.
Cons
Stuck in the 80's. They had only recently switched from Lotus Notes to Outlook in the months before I started working there...in 2017! Reluctance to engage with employees for new ideas, or change workplace culture. Bullying by managers all the way to the executive level is rampant. Nothing is done, the problem is solved when the culprit leaves the company or moves to another division. The pay is not on par with other financial companies. No WFH policy across the board pre-pandemic, perhaps that's now changed? Managers through to the Executive level worked from home regularly, but would tell some employees it was not allowed while allowing others to do so.
