Pros

Compared to its peers the salary and perks are good. Over the past few years the company is gotten very tech forward. Decent work life balance

Cons

Constant layoffs every six months. It’s nearly predictable timing in Nov & May. And it isn’t exclusive toward poor performers. They will even lay off, pay a severance and then rehire the same employee 2 years later. Promotions to director and above are rare. When they do happen, it’s all political and not job performance related.

Pros

flexible working time because you are commission only

Cons

no base bay, most FAs make around 20k a year. commissions only mean no matter if you are sick, you want a vacation or you are on parental leave, there is no benefit. Well, there is..... but only if you still have revenue. Where does those revenue comes from? You have to keep selling insurance and annuities. They will let you keep calling their existing clients or friends and family, brining them in, and keep exchanging their current clients' insurance and annuities, a lot FAs don't care what's best for the client, they keep replacing those policies so he can get paid. Even those senior "successful" advisors, they are only make 100k plus, and you can easily get paid that amount anywhere else. For who ever get paid over 100k here, they have been in business as least for 15 years, and that's a low salary comparing to experiance. When you leave, they mail you a collection ticket to collect some money they already paid you. The more revenue you had, the more you have to pay them back, it's ridiculous.

Pros

they pay well for customer service but you are going to do back to back calls for 8 hours

Cons

Prudential is a joke. Please pay attention to all of the negative reviews because they are true. The call metrics are ridiculous and you will fail calls for stupid reason. EXTREME high turnover rate and unhappiness all around. There is no transparency in the hiring process. They make it seem like things are great and everyone is caring when they micro manage and nit-pick. Only work here if you are desperate. an their recruiter is passive aggressive
