      Pros

      -Ability to make $100k+ annually after you get a year or 2 experience. Realistically expect to actually make $40k-$70K your first year depending on how involved you are. -Flexible work schedule meaning you can come and go as you please, work as much or as little as you want* (See cons as well) -Great incentives to do as best as you can such as trips and bonuses -Others and willing to help you as much as possible and make sure you succeed* (See cons as well) -Unlimited leads from past advisors who have left, leaving numerous accounts in limbo that have not been contacted in years, this means money making opportunity -Reimbursement for upfront expenses

      Cons

      -Do not expect to take a day off your first year. If you do, expect to hear about it from your "managers" -During pre-contract, you need to have 2 hours every Friday set aside for a conference call that is essentially just a waste of time talking about what you and everyone else did during the week and if you didn't meet their expectations, be ready to get hammered in front of everyone. -Do NOT believe a recruiter if they tell you that you will make over $100k your first year. You do not have the product or market knowledge off the bat to make this. The only exception would be that you already have a year or two experience in the industry. -Do not have a job while acquiring your licenses or else you will be hammered for not advancing fast enough. -Trainers say they are there too help you during license studying, but they aren't, they just refer you too the material or company you are studying through -Lot's of up front costs that you need to have saved for. My $800 that was told to me during an interview with my recruiter turned out to actually be $1800

      Pros

      The people at Prudential are some of the most dedicated and collegial people on the planet. Prudential is also truly driven by a simple philosophy of growing people's retirement wealth and protecting their families after tragedies.

      Cons

      Prudential has decided to conduct a strategy of expense reduction rather than business growth. I was a long-term high-performing employee that was cut loose in a expense reduction effort throughout all of the corporate centers. This may not be the company to grow your career for the long haul any more.
