Prudential reviews

Wide differences in leadership capabilities and effectiveness across the firm. The single biggest problem I've seen over the years is the fact that the company has a habit/history of tolerating really bad leaders if they bring other skills to the table.

Training program is terrible. They do not know how to teach true financial advising and just try to push high fee annuities to fit every clients need. The office is a revolving door that no one that has been there for longer than two years, unless they had already been there 20+ years. The office is also a graveyard, so there is no one ever there to answer any questions that knows what they are doing. Even when someone is there to answer a question, upper management usually doesn't know the answer and they tell you to call the corporate agent line and ask them which is extremely inefficient. Upper management claims during the interview process they have more leads than you could ever call, but this is an exorbitant exaggeration. They only have a limited number of "leads" so they photo copy them and hand them out to multiple people. Many times the leads are extremely angry because, "you are the 10th person that has called today!" Then they hang up the phone. Stay away from this company in Mass and RI because they are run by the same management.
