If you need to start work immediately, do not apply for this position. The licensing alone can take a few months. You are not allowed to learn the licensing material at your own pace. They rush you through almost 20 chapters of material in 2-3 weeks, and an 8 chapter course in 1 week if you currently are not working full time. They are extremely pushy and the training is done under micromanagement. Your pay is mostly based on commissions you make from sales plus bonuses if you do well in sales, which can be slightly unpredictable and risky. What I did not like is that they do not pay you an hourly base rate for being in the office. Everything, even your draw account, is only there because you made a sale. If you are excellent in sales and have a long list of clientele, go for it. However if you slightly doubt that you may not have the people to sell to off the bat, it is a lot of pressure and you have to start networking. The training is mostly all self-study, the managers do little to help you study the concepts of the acutal material to pass the state exams. If you are a college student who has a boat load of student loans to pay off, I strongly suggest you do not apply for this position because you will have to invest your own money at first to build your business with Prudential. Not good for someone who is just starting out who is inexperienced in sales.
