Opportunity to succeed is there but you are on your own to do it and it takes a lot of hard work and hours.

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunities are there to learn the insurance and financial services industry. Very autonomous atmosphere. Very independent job where you are pretty much your own boss with very little oversight. Prudential has a recognisable company name with lots of history and is solid financially with good products to offer in all areas.

Cons

Constant push to prospect at the forsaking of other things. Contacts and appointments are pushed above all else for the sake of making a sale that may or may not be in the best interest of the client. Lots and lots and lots of hours to be successful. It seems like a numbers game for management where people are hired and trained to get licensed and then thrown into the sales arena to either sink or swim with minimal help from that point onward.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people, lots of long term employees who really care about clients. Freedom to make the best decisions to benefit clients and maintain long term relationships with clients.

Cons

Management changed their focus, no longer interested in maintaining a client base that is happy and can be used as a reference or a referal. Currently, their focus is to increase stock price by cutting personel and services offered to their top clients. Clients aren't feeling the love so they are exploring other opportunities. Client satisfaction ratings are falling fast which have a direct coorelation to decreased services.
