Work or politics?

Pros

Good salary, benefits, generous paid time off and opportunity for different experiences.

Cons

Politics are the most important thing right now. It’s not what you do or what results you deliver, but who you know that is important. Pru talks about the importance of “talent” but prefers to import new people instead of developing existing people.

Middle Management Will Make or Break Your Experience

Financial professional

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, brand name recognition, huge resources, SOME fantastic support staff, trying frantically to catch up on the tech front

Cons

All commissions on the FPA and FP side of the company, Middle management is incentivized to bring out the worst in themselves and their team. The office and team you end up with will decide whether you succeed or fail unless you have the experience necessary to navigate and steer clear of the New Org.
