Pros

Salary and Benefits are on par with Big Banks in specific roles. If you don't have family and find a consulting gig, this might be the thing for you.

Cons

While this is a Fortune 500 company, multiple Prudential Investment arm teams are overworked and don't have a great work culture. Senior management doesn't care much about employees' well-being and work-life balance. They expect you to work almost 7 days a week (for weeks and months) to meet their astronomical prediction to deliver complex effort. On top of that manager scolds the entire team for falling behind the timeline. Forget about saying thanks or acknowledging your hard work and sacrifices made by you/your family for working over the weekends/long nights. Bottomline: If looking for a new job, stay away from Investment House unless you can't find another job.

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.
