Pros

some flexability, people really do need the products. You do have the opportunity to "own" your own business.

Cons

Training was the worst I have seen at any job. The training manager was more worries about herself than doing a good job, had no knowledge of the products being sold and was a joke. Management changed every couple months. It does not make you feel good when you have three managers in a year. They talk about giving people leads but when they finally do, they are old, are not valid, or in areas you cannot even afford to drive to.

Overall, Pru is a great place to work.

Pros

At Pru, the compensation and benefits package are very competitive. On a periodic basis, salaries are adjusted to be competitive with the salaries within the same industry. The benefits package includes comprehensive health coverage, tuition reimbursement, 401k match, a small pension fund, and a discount on company stock. Opportunities for advancement are also there for the people who wish to pursue them. There is a great internal job posting system to explore the wide array of careers available in the company. In addition, the company promotes work/life balance. The hours, at least in my position, are very manageable. This is a pretty uncommon find in the financial industry.

Cons

If you don't like the idea of working for a large firm, where your function is very specific, than Pru is not for you. However, this is usually the way it is for all large firms. In my position, I have the opportunity to work with other groups, but not to the extent I'd like. There is sometimes a disconnect when interacting with other groups, since the terms and concepts used can be different. I also don't get exposed to what other groups do as much as I'd like. This may just be due to the group I'm in, so I can't speak for the whole company.

Work / Life balance always a concern at Pru

Business Outlook

Pros

The Pru treats their employees better than most companies and continually works at improving work/home balance. Salaries are equal or better than most major Financial Services companies as are benefits.

Cons

The outsourcing of jobs leads to uncertainty within the Inforamtion Technology Community and also frustrates internal and external customers.
