Life Insurance Business Run Out of Washington Street Building Is A Joke !
Pros
Prudential offers a good benefits package including health insurance, dental insurance, paid time off and allows many employees to "work" from home.
Cons
Management at Prudential's life insurance business is a joke. The place is overloaded with Directors and Vice Presidents. Management comes in two varieties in Prudential's life business. One variety is the VP or Director who spends his or her day promoting themselves, running to meetings where not much of anything is accomplished and showing little interest in their staff. The second type just doesn't give a hoot because nothing worthwhile ever gets done anyway. I should know. I was a Director for many years. I got tired of attending meetings where nothing got accomplished. I spent my last ten years at Prudential hanging out at the local deli or diner or the university gym next to the Prudential buiding. It was often funny to count how many Prudential employees were playing racquetball, swimming or lifting weights at 2 PM in the afternoon. I only showed up to the office three days a week. The other two days I "worked" from home - yeah. In any event, this was my schedule for ten plus years and no one noticed and I continued to get great reviews and bonuses. I finally got tired of wasting my life so I took a nice package and got the heck out of this place. This all took place in the life insurance silo run out of the Washington Street building in Newark. The place is a joke.
