Thanks for sharing your comments. The Financial Professional Associate role is a challenging one. We hope you felt comfortable voicing your concerns to Senior Leadership or HR while you were here with Prudential. We wish you continued success in the future.

Pros

They will hire anyone, so if you have no other options go for it!

Cons

Everything - commission is horrible, no stability, forced to attend trainings and meetings where you don’t get paid (i.e., slave labor) and travel without reimbursement. This place has a turnover rate over 90% for Financial Associates within the first two years - think about that for a minute! It’s a dying business model that they are already thinking about doing away with for obvious reasons. Don’t say I didn’t warn you -
