Pros

-Strong Life Insurance and Annuity products, maybe the best in the industry -Great training program -Unlimited PTO and freedom to set own time -Bonus structure is very generous when starting out -Able to be comprehensive with clients (take that with a grain of salt however) -Good for starting a Financial Services career if you get the right local management.

Cons

-COMAND Investment platform is better off not existing -Weak wealth management programs; fees are not competitive with the industry (meaning they are too high) and trading capabilities are minimal -Senior Home Office Management is terrible (high turnover, and make huge lateral business model shifts every 6 months) -Salaried Home Office employees are lazy and unhelpful -Unnecessarily heavy administration on transactions can often delay you getting paid for them -Direct reports to many superiors despite them saying it’s your own business -Very behind on technology -Marketing support is non-existent (though this could depend on local management)

Pros

I enjoyed all of the people I worked with. I liked my immediate manager. I thought the compensation/benefits/401k was good. I liked the work that I did. I felt the amount of time off given was good.

Cons

Stressful. Lack of staffing to handle calls, no career growth. Work/Life balance is not good due to amounts of scheduled OT. Prudential is behind on technology. Senior MGMT changes every 18-24 months, so there are always changes that come, but nothing ever stays in place for long. Reorgs/layoffs/low morale.
