Pros

Great Training program...base salary OK. Management has all worked up through the ranks, so they can relate well to new members starting out. There is suuport, sometimes you just need to ask.

Cons

No matter how they describe or name it, your an insurance sales agent/rep. Very aggressive selling techniques enforced by management, while training teachs you the complete opposite. Classic case where training and Mgt. are very different.

Pros

Culture of success, Great environment to grow your own practice in financial services, Advanced Training Program to develop into a Management Position. Unlimited earnings potential at any stage of your career, ability to open your own remote private office, and outstanding corporate support to representatives. Amazing benefits package, a great place to grow a career not work at a job.

Cons

Unusual hours, a lot of travel, not know for its investment just for insurance, not located in a city environment, not strong in the local community, one must be self motivated

Pros

Name recognition. People are familiar with the name.

Cons

It was a glorified pyramid scheme. They leverage the lifelong relationships for a check. Their model is to have a rotating door of associates that bring clients to senior associates. They stress joint-work. What that essentially becomes is new people bringing their family and friends to veterans. The veterans ultimately keep your clients. Regardless of what they tell you, you're an insurance salesman. There is no incentive to, and they dissuade you from being a financial resource. All they want you to do is bring big clients to senior advisors and sell everyone else insurance. After 6 months only three of the 14 people on my team were still employed at prudential. You work full time hours and have part time status so that they don't have to pay you. It's a vulture culture.
