Worst experience of my professional career- run as fast as you can, unless your in sales and make 6 figures a month

Pros

Work life balance, no one works in office on Fridays-

Cons

Benefits extremely costly, manager was ineffective and destructive. People left dept due to this manager, left as in to another company, but no one addressed the issue-the manager. Created a deliberate chaotic environment, where this individual would say one thing to you one to one, another to the senior leader, and then not understand why you- me didn't get it. Forwarded VM's to the leader, and said leader would have no idea what this person was referring to? Just offensive

Pros

Prudential offers great work life balance benifits. They're generally supportive of employees who want to persue training and continuing education.

Cons

Due to the fallout from the financial crisis, there is a general lack of career professional growth opportunities. Also, knowledge and information is often "siloed" between groups, even within the same department.

Pros

Great brand name that commands immediate respect in the market place. Benefits are top world class and are focused on a diverse work force

Cons

Seems there is continuous reorganization internally. Leading to a lot of gaps in continuity which has a very negative impact on clients and those employees who are client facing
