Pros
I started working for Pru right after college, they pay pretty well in comparison to other companies out there. They have great benefit options and good amounts of vacation days, but that's about all I can say about their good qualities.
Cons
The saddest part I found about Prudential was the employees, at least the ones that I worked with all seemed to dislike their jobs. I also found that corporate culture wasn't very positive, very few people took leadership roles and I was somewhat disheartened to even try to take on some. Just coming out of college I expected a different attitude from people (at least more positive). I found that the technology in the company was very outdated. My job function required me to be on the phone for good part of the day and the company didn't even provide headsets to their employees. The actual trade management systems are very old and outdated, many of the external companies we dealt with such as Goldman, Bank of America, TD ext had way better procedures and systems. Some of the management were competent, but other managers had very few good management qualities. You can tell they were just placed there because they have been with the company for a long time, not because they were good candidates for management.
