Pros

Prudential is a great place to build a career- if a career is what you're looking for a not just a job. It is a Fortune 50 company and they promote from within whenever possible so the room for growth is excellent. The benefits and compensation and second to none in our industry and I love that people without an industry specific background are given an opportunity because of their comprehensive training program. I hope to spend the rest of my workings days with Prudential and feel very proud to work for them.

Cons

Nothing- Not a good move for people just looking for a job- this a career and should be treated as such. People have to be very driven and truley have a passion for helping other to build a career.
