Like a Calm Storm but in a Good Gay
Annuities Associate, Data Entry (Current Employee) – Willow Grove, PA – August 13, 2018
Prudential can be fast paced and crazy however there are many people to support you and get you on the feet. Once an employee gets into the rhythm of the job, but becomes much easier. Most you encounter in the company are kind well rounded folk who are more than happy to help you when you ask.
the work load can be overwhelming, but it is not unmanageable once you set down and start on it and really put your mind to it. The jobs requested are fair and do help build confidence in kids just out of college. I can honestly say I have grown a lot and have more confidence in myself.
I am taking every opportunity I have to get into a permanent position within this company

Pros
friendly work environment
Cons
short window of employment for temp workers-- difficult to renew before termination
Remote worker
Underwriting Medical Specialist (Former Employee) – Plymouth, MN – August 12, 2018
My position was specialized. The opportunity to advance or move laterally existed if I wanted to pursue a different position and take the course work and job training available. However, I had been planning to switch careers and return to social services. My position was eliminated in December 2017.
Pros
Ability to work remotely, great benefits, company treats employees very well
Cons
My position was isolating, minimal interaction with others, lack of stimulation or opportunities to do something different.
Lots of phone calls
Financial / Benefits Advisor (Former Employee) – Lancaster, PA – August 9, 2018
You need a strong and vast natural market for this job or you will spend many frustrating hours on the phone trying to make some money. They offer okay pay when you start but after a few months you are expected to be on your own.
Great benefits, competitive pay
Customer Transition Representative (Former Employee) – Plymouth, MN – August 9, 2018
I was with Prudential in various roles for 7 years. I was able to advance and increase my pay by over $18k in the time I was there. It was a great learning experience and the benefits were great. I started in life insurance asset retention where I spent a majority of my career - advancing to into more challenging roles within the department. My final 2 years were spent on the Customer Transition Team, selling primarily term and universal life insurance in a call center environment.
Pros
Benefits
Cons
Corporate Policies
Annuity Rep

Pros

Micromanaging

Working out the Kinks
Manager, Financial Services (Former Employee) – Orange, CA – August 1, 2018
Their agency program is being revamped and needs a few more years before they get it perfect. I was use to the NY LIfe structure and needed more autonomy that I was offered at Prudential
.Overall good place to work
Security Guard (Former Employee) – Taylor, MI – July 31, 2018
Overall a good place to work. Not too many complaints. Nice people. Pay wages could be better and the opportunity to grow in the company could be better. I would recommend for a started job
Good for the right person
Financial Professional Associate (Current Employee) – Bloomington, IL – July 31, 2018
You need to have a fairly extensive network of people to reach out to when you start. If you can't reach out to find clients, you will struggle. I started as a college grad so almost everyone I knew was in college or just out of college. That market either does not need a financial adviser or does not see the need for one. Therefore finding people to meet with and do business was hard. Management helped as much as they can, but ultimately its about what you do.
Pros
Extremely flexible schedule
Cons
No base salary
Great Place to Learn
Architecture & Technology Enablement Intern (Former Employee) – Newark, NJ – July 30, 2018
I learned a lot as an intern at Prudential and was constantly mentored throughout the program. Upper Management makes sure to meet with interns and talk about career advancement post graduation.
