Nothing tough, makes you think about yourself deeper than you would think,
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Prudential (Cincinnati, OH) in Dec 2014
Interview
Laid back, aligned my goals with theirs. Very supportive sales team and management. Opportunity to transition from a current job to their CDP (career development program) which is nice. I was able to transition seamlessly from my old job to the Financial Professional Associate position with all of my licenses and training already completed.
