Pros

The company as a whole offers a great benefits plan. It has good company values in place.

Cons

Depending on what area of the company you work in and who leads your group determines the experience one might have in the organization. My last job there started off good but as management changed so did my reviews. Management likes who they like and they will force you out if they want you out by lying about your performance to make themselves look better.

Pros

Prudential offers good pay and benefits, and it offers stable employment. Lots of emlpoyees in Newark say the strongest benefits is Prudential's location, that offers easier access than other financial employers in New York City.

Cons

Many cons: Prudential's old-fashioned in how employees work. Leaders don't listen, people do not collaborate well. Technology is old and Lotus Notes is terrible. Many people have been in same job for many years and they aren't open to new ideas and are ignorant of the way things have changed elsewhere. I was very disappointed and left after 2 years.

Pros

The Portland Office location offers the opportunity to live in a GREAT city with a FANTASTIC quality of life.

Cons

Prudential works on an old school, BIG corporation business model. Everything is outdated from software to methodology, and the firm is too big to change. There is no room or flexibility to innovate or improve processes. The pace is fast and you are expected to deliver outstanding results within impossible deadlines ... yet corporate does not make themselves accountable for delivering on their deadline promises to the employees. Lack of support system. Lack of teamwork. Lack of intelligent or driven coworkers. Lack of culture within office / dreary office environment with low light, cubicle city and minimal windows. Lack of leadership within the organization.
