Pros

Prudential has a good benefit program, but you must work there for at least two years to get full access to those benefits.

Cons

They hire ignorant trainers as well as used car salesmen with no ethical or moral character as their local management team(Manager Financial Services & Managing Director). Additionally, the corporate headquarters does not provide a local support team so everything is chaotic at the office unless you pay for it yourself. Products are ok but they push Variable Universal Life Insurance for every need(college savings to retirement savings). One training meeting quote "figure out their financial need and then club them over the head with a VUL" Compensation is so complicated that you need to take several training classes to understand. Hint... It is all geared toward selling life insurance and increasing profits for the company shareholders not its clients. Systems to build a financial services practice are non-existent, so you must create one yourself. They do not protect their employees from sexual harassment and furthermore they punish whistle blowers who report those issues through compensation penalties. As a financial advisor you go into the Pru system with dreams of making lots of money, but you end up leaving with less money than you started.

Pros

Good perks, that is about all that is good with Prudential. Working from home is another good thing about working at Prudential.

Cons

Prudential wants to look good in the public eye but really they don't care about their employees. No support from management. Management doesn't like to take risk.
