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.
