      Pros

      You will get tough skin. Because job is commission and bonus only, you have to learn how to make the most of your time. There are plenty of people to call and set appointments, and many people to work jointly as everyone is the same boat. You can design your own schedule and be as independent as you want it to be. Better than a 1099 firm because you get real benefits and training is decent. In addition, Prudential's products are very competitive but you do have to actively market yourself.

      Cons

      No real structure unless you put yourself down to it, therefore it is easy to lose weeks because not enough appointments were set beforehand, thereby slowing down sales. Also a lot of people quit early on, so there's a lot of turnover. That means you have to be quick on your feet and constantly be reinventing your business, and be willing to field train reps that might leave. I think this is typical of a sales firm environment.

      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.
