Pros

A steady paycheck, that is all.

Cons

Prudential's mission is to "Lead the transformation of US Retirement;" however, the plan to do this involves offshoring as many US based jobs as possible. To counter the negative backlash of doing so, the company is making grandiose fanfare about hiring veterans for the few remaining jobs that will remain in the long term. To my fellow veterans, this is a warning that in order for the company to showcase veterans they will keep you down at the lowest levels without the chance of promotion indefinitely, ie until you quit and find a real job. So, if you are looking for a place for advancement / career opportunities, keep looking. Unfortunately, this is also true for all other employees as well, unless you have internal connections, in which case you will rise very quickly regardless of your actual skills. Again, this is a place of who you know, not what you know. I regret wasting the years I have had Prudential.

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.
