      Pros

      Great life/work balance, easy commute.

      Cons

      Managers in department use forced ranking encouraging managers to sabotage each other. Use of department reorganization as method for firing minorities and seniors while avoiding lawsuits. After already having determined a hire, HR files job posts to bring in minorities for interviews even though the post is already filled.

      By far the worst company I have ever worked for

      Pros

      The new building is nice & Newark is making a come back, but its not quite there yet.

      Cons

      Everyone is scared to take risks or make a mistake. Actually had to get Sr Managenent approval on what type of sandwiches to order for an event. I didnt think the benefits were that great, I had better benefits in the Pharma industry. Very behind the times technologically. A few bad apples at the top ruining the whole bunch. Also very boring culture. Panels of their own Sr. Management addressing the employees is their favorite form of presentation style, yawn...

      Like Screaming into the Grave

      Pros

      Generous healthcare plan, PTO allowance, and 401k company match

      Cons

      Everything about this company is antiquated, from the technology to the employees. The median employee age is probably between 45 and 50, many of them lifers with no real work experience outside of Prudential. If you're up-and-coming, don't expect much mobility unless you stick around for a few years of you're in the actuarial program. Also, everyone at the Roseland office seems miserable. I heard that a few years ago an employee committed suicide during work hours. If doesn't really help that life insurance is so depressing and that there is virtually no morale or motivation among an aging workforce.
