Pros

There are many pros to working for Prudential...the wealth of knowledge through managers, other advisors, the training team, and the wholesalers makes this career exciting and doable. There is literally no question that cannot be answered...and there are a lot of questions (especially when starting out). As a parent of two school aged children, another pro is having a schedule that allows the flexibility to still be a great parent. Finally, I personally love meeting different people and helping them improve their current/future financial place in life. It is a very rewarding career.

Cons

Everyone is afraid of a commissions based position...I was. Again, when you have the necessary training and people who will work with you every step of the way if needed it allows the commission part to come naturally. In this position my current income is more than it has ever been. My family is feeling the benefits of this income- coupled with my schedule, it is a win-win for all of us.

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.
