Not exactly what I was told when recruited

Pros

some flexability, people really do need the products. You do have the opportunity to "own" your own business.

Cons

Training was the worst I have seen at any job. The training manager was more worries about herself than doing a good job, had no knowledge of the products being sold and was a joke. Management changed every couple months. It does not make you feel good when you have three managers in a year. They talk about giving people leads but when they finally do, they are old, are not valid, or in areas you cannot even afford to drive to.

Good company, bad job for someone with a family and expenses.

Pros

Some of the best things that come with working at Prudential include some of the better products in the industry and each agent was given a new Lenovo Think Pad T61 to use for work. The office was small but it allowed for new agents to work closely with vereran agents who were willing to help new agents understand the industry. During the first year new agents were given sales leads that would cost other agents $25 a piece so there was some value in that program. Managers were accessable and helpful for the first few months. The fact that Prudential has been around for over 125 years helps for name recognition.

Cons

The downsides are many. Pay is full commission and no salary. Unless you earn over $2400 in a 2 week period you will never earn over $600 per week. The money is put into an account for weeks that an agent earns no money. While this might be nice if you are struggling, it is frustrating for those who are doing well and not receiving compensation that is rewarding. Management is unrealistic in their expectations without giving the agents the tools and training that is required to meet expectations. The hours required to make a decent living are too much for anyone with a family and expenses such as a car or house payment. 50-60 hours are the minimum to get an average pay and that is just not enough in today's economy.
