Pros

In-depth training information is available if you avail yourself of it.

Cons

Killer hours required; Insanely large territories; No sense of team - internally competitive and bloodthirsty. READ THE FINE PRINT. Don't sign their contract - they will come after you, long after you are out of the company, to recoup any monies you've made on clients who later decide to cancel or stop paying premiums.

Pros

Prudential is a highly ethical corporation that tries very hard to make working there a reasonably positive experience. Constant improvement and challenging work are the key motivators.

Cons

"Pru Nice" is still the operating theme. It's better to be nice than talented in order to get ahead. You'll do fine if you're reasonably intelligent, politically circumspect and are good at befriending management. If you challenge management in any way or rock the boat, you can either enjoy your exile or work some other place.

Pros

Sometimes the callers were interesting people and that was always a perk, to speak to someone nice. Benefits, salary for the type of work. Overtime if you wanted it.

Cons

There was not proper training on how to handle our "customers" (people with deferred compensation and deferred benefits plans). Callers were mostly rude, obnoxious, and angry that they lost so much money on their retirement plans. Had to pass two licensing exams to stay past four months. Overtime if you didn't want it.
