Productive and friendly workplace
Office Assistant (Former Employee) – East Peoria, IL – April 18, 2018
It is a small office environment that has friendly employees. People are focused on work and understanding that good communication can help the business and the client.
Great Employer
Vice President (Former Employee) – Newark, NJ – April 18, 2018
Prudential offers many opportunities and benefits to their employees and has a workplace culture that is hard to beat. It offers flexible working arrangements to its employees which is helpful in managing the many challenges of the job.
Decent
Customer Service Representative/Call Center (Former Employee) – Fort Washington, PA – April 17, 2018
I was only at prudential for a small time, however this is what I learned there: the culture at Prudential was very good. I liked the people I worked with.
Pros
Culture
Cons
Inability for management to realize talent
Excellent Company to work for
Sr. Financial Analysis Associate (Former Employee) – Newark, NJ – April 17, 2018
Working a Prudential was a great overall experience. I left due to maternity and am presently looking to go back. I feel the company is one of the best I've worked for. Not only do they fairly compensate but they also allow for a great work life balance. Highly recommend!
Pros
salary, work life balance
Cons
none
Company valued work life balance but found office to be very beuracratic
International Forwarding Specialist (Former Employee) – Valhalla, NY – April 16, 2018
Company was very rigid. Hard to implement changes. Was brought in to implement transportation department. 9/11 terrorist attacks occurred which put the brakes on any changes. Company did offer stock options at the time they went public. Good 401K program and liberal policy in regards to taking time off.
Horrible place to work
Customer Service Agent (Former Employee) – Willow Grove, PA – April 16, 2018
Nobody tries to help you at this company. They definitely have their "favorites", and aren't afraid to let you know who is their favorites are. I hated every minute at this company.
Cut throat
Sr. Administrative Assistant (Former Employee) – Hartford, CT – April 16, 2018
Supported a manager for 5 years. He was ungrateful, rude, brass and wouldn't let me move to another department since it would look bad for him if his admin left. Only way out was to quit.
Cons
poor management
Competitive and productive workplace.
Sales Representative (Former Employee) – Houston, TX – April 15, 2018
Prudential was a great place to work for someone that was competitively driven. The company invested in its sales representative education and knowledge of the industry. It made sure that we knew every aspect fo sales and were prepared to close deals.
Great Way To Learn To Run a Business
Realtor Consultant Trusted Advisor (Former Employee) – Del Mar, CA – April 14, 2018
This was a business where we were all independent contractors in charge of developing our own business within the corporate structure and reputation of our principal broker.
Family atmosphere
Manager, Information Systems (Former Employee) – Horsham, PA – April 13, 2018
The best part of working at Prudential is work/life balance and the people you work with. I took an average of 2 hours of work home with me everyday. On call once every 4-6 weeks for 7 days. They try to stay up on technology.
Pros
The people
Great place to work with advancement opportunities
Defined Contribution Account Manager (Former Employee) – Iselin, NJ – April 13, 2018
Prudential is where I started my financial career. It was a great place to learn about the industry and to get licensed. They paid well at the time, and fought to keep you in the department/company if you were a valued employee.
Pros
great salary, bonus, benefits, atmosphere
Prudential
Real Estate Agent (Former Employee) – Philadelphia, PA – April 12, 2018
Fast- paced work environment with lots of opportunities to generate business at a high level. This job requires commitment and persistence. Prudential provides its agents with excellent support and assistance to help them be among the best in the industry.
Productive
Collateral Associate (Former Employee) – Newark, NJ – April 12, 2018
I liked the company. It was fun. Mostly everyone is nice. The company offers very good benefits to their employees. Human Resources are very nice and helpful.
Pros
modern facility
Cons
bad neighborhood
long nights
Financial Advisor (Former Employee) – Syracuse, NY – April 11, 2018
Long nights making phone calls or driving all over to meet potential clients. The orphan list has been redistributed so many times that you end up with many disgruntled people on the other end of the line. If you are single and have low overhead and are willing to network and put in the long nights this is a great career field. But if you have a family and bills, you may want to reconsider this as a career choice.
Team Work oriented workplace
Financial Advisor (Former Employee) – Orlando, FL – April 10, 2018
Overall great team & workplace. Would continue here if I was only working in Financial Services.
Constant training and education were encouraged as well as team building activities.

Cyclical work, good health benefits,
Operations Specialist (Current Employee) – Newark, NJ – April 8, 2018
The work in my area is cyclical. There are daily deliverables, monthly, quarterly and annual deliverables that do not change. Advancement is usually the result of someone leaving the area. Current management style on my team leans more toward micro management. Hardest part of the job is the lack of ability to be creative. Most enjoyable part are the hours and good health benefits
Cut throat culture
Consulting Manager, IT Infrastructure (Former Employee) – Roseland, NJ – April 7, 2018
Jump now and see how high is acceptable. Management always looking to please upwards, regardless of the human cost. Did not enjoy the emotional cost.
Pros
Good benefits
Cons
Bad culture
Great Company
Team Leader (Former Employee) – El Paso, TX – April 5, 2018
Great company - we experienced hiccups establishing a new office in El Paso due to local management selection. Other than CSS unit, there was full professionalism and high degree of support from Prudential and Pramerica.
