Pros

As large corporations are concerned, Prudential ticks all the boxes related prestige and good reputation. Their work facilities are pleasant and comfortable and they offer decent pay and health benefits.

Cons

As large corporations are concerned, Prudential is typical (not in a good way), when it comes to career advancement, real inclusion and diversity across all organizational levels and hiring from within. Culturally, Prudential espouses "employee development" and "career advancement", but in reality does not demonstrate support of their employees when they try to accomplish this. Like most large companies, advancement is doled out to based on "who you know" and not necessarily "what you can offer". Over the last 12 months Prudential has changed (CEO) leadership and with that has come a slew of layoffs that most would agree could have been handled better.

Pros

If you want to be called a Financial Advisor but focus on selling life insurance and annuities, this is the place for you. They do offer leads but they are not what they are cracked up to be, and some of them you have to pay for. They do offer high commissions, but you have to earn a certain amount before they pay you at all. Probably the biggest pro is their reputation.

Cons

You will definitely be paying them before they pay you. They do not cover E&O insurance, you have to pay rent for desk space, you have to pay for certain leads, and they require you to be in the office for several of their pointless meetings. These expenses are not disclosed until the last minute (or sometimes not until after you have been hired on). They do not seem to have any strategy and their training is highly lacking. Outside of insurance products, the firms knowledge of investment products is highly lacking. My advise to the potential employee is look for a firm that is actually known as a financial advising firm and not an insurance company.
