Prudential Employer Reviews

Prudential is a great place to work. Management is strong and focused on doing the right thing not just for the Company, but also for it's customers. Management strongly encourages employees to stretch their abilities and ways of thinking, to learn new skills and try new ideas.

Commission based pay with no help getting started. Was lost on how to find clients and build a book of business they only cared about adding more people to replace the ones who couldnt do it.

Learned how to work in stressful work. - Empathy big part of job!!!

Was a laid back office, very easy to work with everyone. Was a temporary job with no advancement.

Work life balance is not as good as it use to be. I think it a good company because you have a lot of opportunity to move around. They allow you to drew down during the summer which is great. most of the people are very nice.

This company was great to work for. If they were still open I would be still there. This company believed in there employees benefits, trainning and working with people who had children. Prudential is now with Atena US Health Care.

A typical day of work is you arriving to your workload for the day and finding time to manage that work. My location is a little laid-back environment, but all about the business. My co-workers are great - genuinely caring for one another. Management is helpful and will believe in you as long as you believe in yourself. I've learned to ask questions, – more... push myself, be attentive and learn all you can. Never stop learning or asking questions, as the insurance industry constantly changing. – less

I enjoyed working with this company and if they didn't relocated I would have still be with this company it was like a family

My coworkers are awesome as are my managers, but recent changes in the market place has made job security an issue.

co-workers were great
friendly environment
able to work independently
teamwork was encouraged

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

It is a 24/7 company. They do not leave you alone to do what you need to do. The training is fair.

I recommend Pru to anyone considering working there. The compensation & benefits were very fair & 3 weeks vacation after a year.

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

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

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

All in all, an excellent place to work for the right person. straight commission so need to be able to weather the highs and lows of the sales process.

Working conditions were fine. People were great to work with

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

Employees are nice and helpful. You will have fun at work. Good pay and reasonable time off. Management if great. I really enjoyed working.
