      Good people, stale company

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Genuinely good people, good place to go if you’re just looking for a steady paycheck with decent benefits, again people really do seem to care about each other

      Cons

      No incentive for high performers to stay as it is not a meritocracy and the compensation is way below market average, extremely easy for tenured people to skate by and fail up, the path forward is unknown and it’s unclear if senior leadership even has a plan at all or if they’re just waiting to retire. Had heard “better, bolder, faster” for years with literally nothing to show for it - I guess they’re trying now but they’re having a rough go of it. Technology is outdated to say the least. If you’re looking to grow and be challenged intellectually, this isn’t the place.

      Very solid employer, if not stable

      Senior marketing manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The pay was competitive, the benefits were mostly excellent (except healthcare, being the now common high deductible tied to an HSA). Having good paid time off, able to sometimes work remote, an actual pension, stock purchasing, and a very good work-life balance is very nice. Nearly all senior executives are excellent, smart, open, caring people, and I worked directly with several. There are many great people who care about clients, especially in sales, client relations, even claims.

      Cons

      Heavily bloated middle management, with many people who create their own work and covet what they have to stay relevant and employed, many of them Peter Principle incompetent. Company restructures every 2 years or so, which creates anxiety, curbs productivity. Ageism likely a factor. If you are over about 50 and not a performer in sales or an exec, you are a prime candidate to be purged in one of these restructures. Serious concerns about this company's future. They will be around for another 100 years, they will survive, but disruption due to technological advancements (e.g. someone under 40 more interested in using an app based on algorithms than having any connection at all to a big company like Pru) will hit this company hard in book keeping, record keeping, client relations, even marketing jobs in the 2020's and beyond.
