Pros

I was always update to current company information and management made it a point to include us in work life balance decisions. My managers and co-workers always worked together to solve issue, and generate many ideas of how to make things flow even smoother through our department on a day to day basis. The benefits were excellent, and the employee evaluations were and really provided an accurate picture of my work, and how I was percived by my managers and then was fairly compensated to boot.

Cons

Being outsourced in June of 2007. Had that not happen I would still be there working.

Pros

Prudential offers excelleent benefits packages, which includes a generous 401K with decent investment option choices. They offer great healthcare choices, including HSAs, HFAs Medica, CIGNA and major medical type coverages. I believe all benefits are extended to partners, whether same or different sex. Vacation is very generous and work/life balance is great. There are plenty of opportunities for growth but you have to stand out in a big company: in order to do that, you must show energy, enthusiasm and maintain a positive attitude. It is easy to be a leader in this organization. Also, education opportunities (to obtain a bachelers, masters or some other advance degree) is VERY generous.

Cons

Sadly, some people are born to manage and not lead. and vice versa As with other companies, some people have promoted into leadership positions by virtue of their internal relationships and they aren't great leaders. There is a different between measuring and leading. Prudential is a large company and if you are introverted or not a people person, it may be hard for you to stand out. People tend to stay in positions for a long time while clearly not being suitable for a job. Prudential could be a little more flexible in their approach to telecommuting and alternate work arrangemetns but they seem to be moving in the right direction.l
