Lots of promises made during recruiting, none kept. Compliance department is strictest in industry. Very little support and resources available. BAD technology (Lotus notes, really?!)

Pros

Good product line up and some really good people.

Cons

Filed complaints with HR, Ethics, and Agency Relations over unacceptable, unethical, and retaliatory behavior by supervisor. Was totally dismissed and ignored and I ultimately resigned and went to the competition because Of Prudential's lack of action and response. Supervisor has 'chased away" several good talented people but has seniority and knows people up the chain. Thats what its all about....its not about actual performance. Stay away.

Prudential Response

Prudential is committed to doing business the right way and does not tolerate unethical or retaliatory behavior. We want to continually earn the trust of our employees and our customers. If you believe that your complaints were not adequately addressed, please contact our Chief Regulatory Counsel, Stephen Shine, Esq., at (973) 802-5599.
