Pros

They had the work and were in need of people to finish it. Willing to give you over time and work on Holidays.

Cons

Management was not very good. Favored certain people. Need to be more aware of what their employees are doing and what they are not doing.

Opportunity to succeed is there but you are on your own to do it and it takes a lot of hard work and hours.

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunities are there to learn the insurance and financial services industry. Very autonomous atmosphere. Very independent job where you are pretty much your own boss with very little oversight. Prudential has a recognisable company name with lots of history and is solid financially with good products to offer in all areas.

Cons

Constant push to prospect at the forsaking of other things. Contacts and appointments are pushed above all else for the sake of making a sale that may or may not be in the best interest of the client. Lots and lots and lots of hours to be successful. It seems like a numbers game for management where people are hired and trained to get licensed and then thrown into the sales arena to either sink or swim with minimal help from that point onward.
