Pros

The people you work with. The support groups work well together and overall have a good time getting the job done.

Cons

The benefits and compensation has been cut. Not sure that they are much better than many start-up company's now. No real pension anymore, just a cash balance and 401K plan. Post Retirement medical is gone for anyone under 40. Unless you are a Senior VP you don't really participate when the company has a good year. You do participate when the company has a bad year. Many of the top guys in the business groups treat the support groups like trash.

Pros

Good vacation, name brand recognition

Cons

Company is anal retentive when it comes to compliance issues and taking risks... Impossible to navigate through internal redtape to accomplish anything.

Pros

Decent work environment. Equipment and building is fairly new. Software is pretty current by today's standards. In general, the people are friendly and willing to help if they are ever asked. Prudential has a great brand recognition and is a financial powerhouse.

Cons

Overly bureaucratic process gets in the way of getting things done. Sr. Mgmt. is afraid to ever say "No" and surrounds themselves with ass-kissers and "Yes" men (and women). Many people promoted in the organization are often the same ones recognized by co-workers as those who contributed the least to the successes of the company. Cafeteria serves overpriced food that is just so so.
