As a sales rep - I had to pay the company rent for an office or cubicle
My biggest pet peeve was having to pay Pru to rent an office space within their office - which wasn't convenient for customers or me. Wasn't allowed to work from home even though I had an office there - and all my job entailed was talking on the phone and filling out forms. The office manager and co-workers were all nice. It was the mandatory office time for a job that if I was in my car all day going to clients' homes - not in an office that was praised, but if I was at home making calls, that was unacceptable.
ProsName recognition that's all
ConsPru is known for life insurance. Prospecting was a nightmare - nobody wants to buy life insurance.
Although in this day and age you have to remain flexible when working at a company, Prudential changed upper management every couple of years. People would just have to figure things out. Management would let people go whose knowledge was irreplaceable, and the workers that were left always just had to pick the pieces up and figure things out. There was no planning from management just massive amounts of changes consistently. It was difficult.
ProsPTO, good pay
ConsLay offs, poor planning

Stay away from Annuity Service Center
Surprisingly, this huge multi-billion dollar multinational corporation doesn’t have even the most basic idea about how to run a call center. Their technology is so outdated and they rely on off-shore people who don’t speak English fluently to resolve tech issues for their remote workers. Additionally, they rely on the same non-fluent in English speakers to assist clients and financial professionals- such a disaster!!!

Lack of reliable supervisors and misleading information
Don’t give you the work hours you tell them you absolutely need. Circle of misinformation. Could be a great place to excel if they focused on truly training properly and not allowing senior reps to harass and belittle new comers, and actually listened and read the hours needed to work.
No opportunities for employees not located in Newark NJ. They say they are committed to the communities they are in but that is only as long as it doesn’t impact their bottom line. They will leave without the slightest regard for the employees or community.
Draining, unreasonable processes, pay was quite low in comparison to other companies. My manager was an incredible leader and the only thing that made the job tolerable. Some people stayed for years but it just wasnt for me.

Excellent Company to work for
Worked at Pru for 32 years. Challenging assignments, great benefits, above average pay. Co-workers were like family.
Worked in the Technology Dept so the demands were very high, but it was well worth it.

best place to work
Best place to work in north eastern Pennsylvania. Prudential is no longer in operation and has been taken over by a company called Empower. Prudential was a great place to work.
Very bad working condition in this company. But I learned a lot of thingsthings.
- A typical day at work: Telesales from morning to noon with the source I find on my own. I go direct-sales at night with my team.
- What I learned: Many tricks on how to find customers and convince them. How I was lied and used by team leader. I should have been more conscious about working condition.
- Management: My team leader was a very bad guy who has no management skills and lack in sales experience either.
- Workplace culture: Being very discipline is the only thing I find good about this place. But it is sometimes quite treat.
- The hardest part: The interest rate is very high compared to other retail banks. It leads to hard-finding customers and also go against your manner convincing them.
- The most enjoyable part: I can find nothing.

Multi National Company with Head Office in London - Stable
Prudential Insurance is a large organization that is very stable and structured in it's operations, policies and guidelines. Despite the high regulatory limits in which we operate, the local office has much autonomy and is a very friendly and caring place to work in.
There is good teamwork between management and staff at all levels.
The most challenging part of the job is to recruit calibre staff as the insurance industry is a very niche industry.
The most enjoyable part of the job is the open communication and interaction between all levels of staff in the company.
Prosgood yearly bonuses
Conslong hours, work life balance is not at a very healthy level

Highly Competitive and Productive
One of the best companies. The management is professional and listens to their employees. Everyone was helpful. You'll learn a lot. Although it's a fast-paced environment, I had the best time because of the people I was working with during that time. The team was among the best I've worked with, from more than seventeen years of working experience.

Does Prudential Financial do a credit check?
Asked Dec 12, 2022
Yes, very thorough. I was questioned about a late payment on a store credit card of all things. On a $100 balance. My car payments, mortgage, and other credit cards had impeccable payment history, but they zeroed in on a late payment for a $100 balance.
