Pros

You get a bigger bonus working in Investment Management though its chump change compared to the amount of work you put in and the responsibilities you have.

Cons

I don't ever write reviews as I've worked at Bank of America and thought that was a very political environment but Prudential takes the cake. You are overworked, underpaid, not appreciated as a person and at the end of the day it doesn't matter how good of a job you do, if someone doesn't like you, they will fire you. It was the worst experience of my life working there, but I powered through everyday and put a smile on my face. People who work there are the ones who culturally don't fit anywhere else. They are the socially awkward people you ignored/made fun of in school. Total opposite of Wall Street culture. They do not give employees phones or pay for your phone bill but expect you to have office email app downloaded on your phone and respond to emails at all times. All the equipment is from the 1950's. You can't even go back to see the telephone number of missed calls. How they invest in equipment is an example of how they invest in its people. They don't. They get you in for the cheapest amount and throw you out when they're done.

Pros

They take you to lunch on your first day. Hybrid 2 days in the office, but I'm sure that will increase. The benefits & pay.

Cons

No training at all. You learn by failed case work and what other coworkers tell you. They expect you to do case work you have never processed before. If you fail too many cases, they put it against you and say your quality is bad. Train normally and the quality wouldn't be bad. If you continue to do "bad", they will just put you on phone calls every day to help rude and mean old people. Upwards of 40+ calls daily. They also don't put everyone on phones even though they say being on phones is an essential part of the job. They pick and choose their favorites to do casework and put everyone else on phones daily. Managers are useless and just sit in meetings all day and don't offer help, training, or guidance. Managers also provide snobby remarks when asking for clarification or help and answer back as if you are the dumbest person in the room and act as if you should already know the answer.
