Difficult advancement for minorities
Learning Specialist & Consultant (Current Employee), Dresher, PA – May 20, 2013
Pros: plethora of learning materials and workshops
Cons: compensation and salary is lacking
This is a good stable company to work for with more than 135 years of experience in the industry. For a minority it is difficult to get an equal pay and candid feedback. Very limited potentilal in growing this with company more than 1-3 years.

Management team is inconsistent. Great co-workers, excellent benefits and employee assistance programs. Wide – more... assortment of learning available to applied associates. – less

A typical day:
Senior Business Analysis Associate (Former Employee), Plymouth, MN – May 15, 2013
Pros: working from home to be with children
Cons: none that i can think of
I truly enjoyed the opportunity to solve problems technically. I learned the proper way to train others as well as promote the company. My co-workers were supportive as well as hard working. Balance in my duties I would describe as the part of the job that was most challenging. However I enjoy challenge! I look for solving issues and working with others, – more... as I would describe that as most enjoyable. – less

Call Center/ Customer Service
Customer Service Representative (Current Employee), Shelton, CT – May 15, 2013
You take calls from client's and financial institutions answering their questions about our annuity products and our website. I learned a lot about retirement accounts. I do feel that once you are in the call center though it's very hard to progress to another position. The demand of employees being on the phone is very high so the opportunity to participate – more... or do other things does not happen very often. – less

A typical day at work.
Senior Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), Shelton, CT – May 14, 2013
Pros: team environment, good equipment, fast computers
Cons: usually agents did not understand how to complete application correctly.
1. Arrive early so all my systems were up and running by start time of 8:30
2. Gather my reports electronically so I could see what I had to work on that day.
3. Log into phone queue at 9:00 and take inbound and make outbound calls to agents, their assistants and their broker dealers, making sure there was always enough coverage on the phone prior to – more... me making call out.
4. Process applications and quality control applications already processed, while staying logged into phone queue.
5. De-escalate problem calls when needed.
6. Stay late when necessary. – less

Great experience but very hard to succeed
Career Development Program (Former Employee), Forest Hills, PA – May 13, 2013
Pros: great training
Cons: hard to get started
Pru is a great company for people right out of college looking to become a financial adviser. They will assist you in getting your Life Accident and Health license and series 6 and 63(the basic licenses needed for securities transactions). The training is great but this company has you build a book of business on your friends and family by creating – more... a project 200, which is essentially an excel spread sheet with 200 people that you know with information about these people, such as age, job title, salary etc...

Great company as far as training but very hard to succeed unless you have a book of business already or know a ton of people that need financial advice.

Pru will teach you how to network effectively and market yourself as a financial professional. – less

Great for training and people, lacking solid management
Sr. Advanced Marketing Consultant (Former Employee), Oak Brook, IL – May 10, 2013
Pros: potential for income and advancement
Cons: break down between management and advisors
This was a great place to work until the later years. Management became less than trustworthy and sales practices became poor. In recent years the organization has changed and seems to be a better opportunity after weeding out problems.

Senior Annuity Claims Specialist (Former Employee), dresher pa – May 6, 2013
Pros: free parking
Cons: compensation
Enjoyed working at Prudential, I loved my co-workers and some of management. In order to move up in the company you have to get to know the right people which can be a crutch for others. The most enjoyable part of the job was the ability to help others and the hardest part of the job is when you cannot.
