Potentially corrupt, ignorant, unethical, and untruthful organization that in my opinion abuses their advisors. - Financial Professional Prudential Employee Review

Pros

Prudential has a good benefit program, but you must work there for at least two years to get full access to those benefits.

Cons

They hire ignorant trainers as well as used car salesmen with no ethical or moral character as their local management team(Manager Financial Services & Managing Director). Additionally, the corporate headquarters does not provide a local support team so everything is chaotic at the office unless you pay for it yourself. Products are ok but they push Variable Universal Life Insurance for every need(college savings to retirement savings). One training meeting quote "figure out their financial need and then club them over the head with a VUL" Compensation is so complicated that you need to take several training classes to understand. Hint... It is all geared toward selling life insurance and increasing profits for the company shareholders not its clients. Systems to build a financial services practice are non-existent, so you must create one yourself. They do not protect their employees from sexual harassment and furthermore they punish whistle blowers who report those issues through compensation penalties. As a financial advisor you go into the Pru system with dreams of making lots of money, but you end up leaving with less money than you started.

Pros

They take you to lunch on your first day. Hybrid 2 days in the office, but I'm sure that will increase. The benefits & pay.

Cons

No training at all. You learn by failed case work and what other coworkers tell you. They expect you to do case work you have never processed before. If you fail too many cases, they put it against you and say your quality is bad. Train normally and the quality wouldn't be bad. If you continue to do "bad", they will just put you on phone calls every day to help rude and mean old people. Upwards of 40+ calls daily. They also don't put everyone on phones even though they say being on phones is an essential part of the job. They pick and choose their favorites to do casework and put everyone else on phones daily. Managers are useless and just sit in meetings all day and don't offer help, training, or guidance. Managers also provide snobby remarks when asking for clarification or help and answer back as if you are the dumbest person in the room and act as if you should already know the answer.
