Pros

You get a bigger bonus working in Investment Management though its chump change compared to the amount of work you put in and the responsibilities you have.

Cons

I don't ever write reviews as I've worked at Bank of America and thought that was a very political environment but Prudential takes the cake. You are overworked, underpaid, not appreciated as a person and at the end of the day it doesn't matter how good of a job you do, if someone doesn't like you, they will fire you. It was the worst experience of my life working there, but I powered through everyday and put a smile on my face. People who work there are the ones who culturally don't fit anywhere else. They are the socially awkward people you ignored/made fun of in school. Total opposite of Wall Street culture. They do not give employees phones or pay for your phone bill but expect you to have office email app downloaded on your phone and respond to emails at all times. All the equipment is from the 1950's. You can't even go back to see the telephone number of missed calls. How they invest in equipment is an example of how they invest in its people. They don't. They get you in for the cheapest amount and throw you out when they're done.

Pros

Benefits are good; Stock Purchase Program, Salary decent, Work From Home During Pandemic was helpful.

Cons

Redundant and Absent Upper Management Ineffective and Inexperienced Leadership from Middle Management, too many "Yes" people who only care about their own careers and taking credit for your work Management more concerned with using big buzz words to sound smart versus actually speaking to you and learning something. Afraid to make simple decisions; turning on a light switch requires 3 dozen people and 100 meetings and complete agreement by all. Antiquated Technology More Concerned with telling staff they care, then actually caring and fixing issues staff tells them multiple times Bonuses and Raises not determined based on your work, but on who likes you, even people who have never worked with you have a say Unclear, Unrealistic and Unintelligable Yearly Goals...when you ask HR to explain your goals and they cant, thats a problem No one will help you, essentially dropped in a desert and told to fend for yourself. You are not allowed to speak to anyone more than a one level above you Treated like a child They have absolutely no idea and no interest in maximizing talent. Inability to get employess back into the office if they want to Everything is dependent on you, your management will not help your career, then will no nothing about what you do unless you tell them and it is your fault if you dont

Pros

Nothing is good about company

Cons

the leads suck, callers are transferred against their will by promising them things that can't physically be done. The agents get in trouble if not enough sales, how can you sell crap to unqualified person? Example: a medicare plan to a 20 year old kid?
