Business Outlook

Pros

Great products and competitive pricing and underwriting for life insurance clients. Prudential partners with broker Crump, which allows advisors to shop with other insurance carriers to match client with the best product for their objectives.

Cons

Poor onboarding process, lack of transparency for commission structure compensation, slow technology applications and online portal, no base pay and solely commission based. Irvine office had one knowledgeable manager training a whole team of advisors only by 2 weekly hour zoom meetings; scheduling time with leadership was challenging and consistently interrupted even during meetings. Other companies offer a campus or zoom onboarding, Prudential did not have any structured onboarding training, and offered no mentorship, team culture, or diversity.
