Pros

Opportunities are there to learn the insurance and financial services industry. Very autonomous atmosphere. Very independent job where you are pretty much your own boss with very little oversight. Prudential has a recognisable company name with lots of history and is solid financially with good products to offer in all areas.

Cons

Constant push to prospect at the forsaking of other things. Contacts and appointments are pushed above all else for the sake of making a sale that may or may not be in the best interest of the client. Lots and lots and lots of hours to be successful. It seems like a numbers game for management where people are hired and trained to get licensed and then thrown into the sales arena to either sink or swim with minimal help from that point onward.

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.
