Pros

Great benefits and alot of opportunities to move around. 90% tuition reimbursement with no obligation to stay with the company. This is a great spring board for you to get experience, further your education, secure experience and move on. Depending on where you work in the company will determine what your experience is like. I've been fortunate enough to work in 3 departments/divisions in a short period of time. This experience has shown me that although Prudential is one company, due to it's size, each department is like a business of it's own. Silos do exist within the organization and it's a challenge working across the barriers. Strong Management support is critical if your role involves going across different departments.

Cons

Each business unit feels like a completely different company. Consistency across business units does not exist across the board. Depending on the management team which you work for, formalities can be in place which hinder creativity and collaboration however, if you're under a good management team, you'll have a great time in this place. Due to the size of the company it can be a challenge to implement change and new ideas. Although an overall good company to work for, the recruiting process could be improved. I know a few people who applied for jobs, interviewed, and never heard back.

Pros

Great Benefits, if you work at a Regional Office or headquarters it might be a better place to work. We do get a lot of PTO days (25 days after 5 years). Plus tuition reimbursement (although vendor for this is a nightmare!)

Cons

No room for growth if you are field-based, HR Functions seem out of touch with ensuring that hiring and promotions are handled properly. I feel separated from the company by not working at a Regional office or headquarters. It seems like it would be great to work at my Division's headquarters or in Newark. Also, health insurance is horrible!

Pros

The company offers a competitive total rewards package, with competitive compensation and benefits that are a meaningful part of the employee value proposition.

Cons

Significant transition and recurring layoffs contributed to a culture of instability. Despite strong performance and loyalty, many employees did not feel secure in their roles
