Prudential Reviews

Pros

Your managers care about your growth. There's a reason so many people start and end their careers at the company.

Cons

There's decreasing approval from senior leaders at the company.

Pros

Seriously the best company to work for work/life balance is encouraged and the benefits are amazing!

Cons

Technology needs to be upgraded in several places

Pros

Work from home. Leaders seem to care about their people.

Cons

Mandatory OT because of lack of workers on PTO. Ridiculous metrics too meet with weekly team huddles to compare you against your peers. Not always assistance out of training. Thrown into the lions den once in coaching phase with coach rarely being available and you can sit fir hours waiting on a response. Alot of favoritism, if you were favored then you got help instantly, if not, then go figure 😉.

Pros

Salary and Benefits are on par with Big Banks in specific roles. If you don't have family and find a consulting gig, this might be the thing for you.

Cons

While this is a Fortune 500 company, multiple Prudential Investment arm teams are overworked and don't have a great work culture. Senior management doesn't care much about employees' well-being and work-life balance. They expect you to work almost 7 days a week (for weeks and months) to meet their astronomical prediction to deliver complex effort. On top of that manager scolds the entire team for falling behind the timeline. Forget about saying thanks or acknowledging your hard work and sacrifices made by you/your family for working over the weekends/long nights. Bottomline: If looking for a new job, stay away from Investment House unless you can't find another job.

Pros

they pushed you to grow, didn't let you become stagnant in a position you could no longer go further in. When I was there we had Joy breaks - was awesome. we had good benefits.

Cons

the distance I had to travel; the early hours I kept so i didn't have to travel in the worst traffic time

Pros

Flexibility, WFH, Set your own schedule. Leads are given to you to make cold calls-- Most of the time they are Life insurance policy holders with prudential its up to you to either roll them into a new policy, annuity or get them started with managed money.

Cons

Commission only structure makes it difficult to get started-- CDP program is to train candidates on how to sell, they give you up to 6 months to bring in $10,000 GDR if you cant do it then you fail out. You're paid 59% of what you bring in, its very difficult to do and if you're not passionate about life insurance try another broker focused more on the wealth management/financial planning side.

Pros

Name recognition opened doors. Plenty of Advertising support.

Cons

low pay, just enough education to keep you showing up .

Pros

Awesome benefits, culture and pay. Most holidays are given off and you have almost 4 weeks of PTO to start. On holidays you do work, they give hours off the phone. Bonuses come just about every year.

Cons

It takes approximately 1 year to be fully trained. With every training, you must pass mock calls and knowledge checks which can be pretty stressful. You can't apply for any positions within the business until after 18 months.

Pros

good pay; excellent training and developmental opportunities

Cons

long hours required to meet with clients/prospects

Pros

Prudential offers employees a lot of opportunities and benefits, including good work-life balance in many roles and tuition reimbursement among other benefits. The people are generally very nice and collaborative.

Cons

It’s a large and bureaucratic organization with many leaders who need to agree and align, and they often don’t. It’s hard to make meaningful progress without that and leadership has been slow to take action even when there is recognition that it is needed.
