Prudential Financial

Yes, A team manager is supposed to help with an initial list of potential clients composed by you. That manager will also assist with entire sales cycle from start to finish. Having a mentor helps with unexpected questions and helps to instill confidence, which is key in sales.

Absolutely. Pru has all different work environments and businesses where you can apply project manager skills. This is my second role with the company, as my first was more technical, but still as a PM. In my short time here, I've learned how to be a better PM and have enhanced many of my other s...

Prudential Financial to a new national clearinghouse. I spent a lot of time on the phone with clients, assisting them in closing their brokerage and investment accounts and transitioning them to a new software platform. However, traditionally, a Marketing Assistant to a Financial Advisor could do...

It all depends on the Financial Advisor for whom you work. I would say that you should find an FA that you respect on a personal and professional level – one who runs their business with honesty and integrity, not any shady or manipulative business practices. That working relationship will be far...

As in most corporate jobs, you do get vacation time, sick time, and paid disability. There is also flex-time and potential to work from home. However, there is also the expected OT during the high volume season.

A Sr. Proposal Writer at Prudential experiences peaks and valleys with a high volume of proposals in the summer and low volume in the winter. It requires a lot of reading, writing, proofreading and teamwork. Hours are a little rigid, with a half lunch, but OT is expected. There is clear hierarchy...

The training for this role was pretty informal. The role involved quite a bit of client outreach and cold call, so the financial advisors would train me on how and what to communicate to clients. When there was time, they would give me a brief overview of different financial products. A lot of th...

A typical day has you sitting in front of your computer for 7.5 hours. The other half an hour is spent eating lunch. There's no set start or end time, just as long as you're at work for the full 8 hours. Assignments vary greatly based on the specific position you're given. For me, I'm either quer...

With 8 hours of work + 3 hours to commute there and back + 6 hours of beauty sleep (which you should have in order to wake up early each day), that leaves around 7 hours of free time each day. There's plenty of commitment going into an internship, but that's just to prepare you for 30+ years of f...

There wasn’t a dedicated training program, just an orientation and some onboarding in the first week or so. They did a pretty good job helping myself and the other interns understand the workflow at Prudential and how projects would play out. There were several meetings we had throughout the firs...

One of the things that I liked a lot was that I really felt like a team member while working there. I didn’t get a small, irrelevant intern project. Everything I worked on would have been worked on by one of the other full time employees had I not been there. It felt good that I was doing real wo...

A Marketing Assistant at Prudential revolves around assisting financial advisors in their daily tasks with client management services, data entries, and projects that occur randomly throughout the day. It starts out as filing, organizing advisors desks, and making calls on behalf on their behalf....

The work-life balance is a great part of the job. Since you’re most likely going to be an independent contractor, the advisors pay you out of their own pockets, so you can request time off with little push back.

The Actuarial Intern program was a 10-week long program that gave exposure to some of Prudential's actuarial functions and groups. Each intern was placed on a team and worked on various projects depending on the nature of the team. There were also many networking opportunities available with seni...

What you should be able to highlight during an interview is a successful sales management track record. One that would demonstrate your ability to recruit and develop new and middle management associates who aspire to and have achieved higher levels of performance. In addition to the development ...

As far as compensation goes this position is typically one of a base salary and incentive compensation. It is usually commensurate with your experience. There is no such thing as an entry level VP position.

Although it could have changed, the Financial Services Representative training program for me was a two week long program. The first week or so is all about installing the many systems on your computer and learning how to use them all. The training class I was in was a group of six people at our ...

I work for the Global Marketing Communications branch of Prudential, which focusses on Paid and Earned Media, as well as Research/Marketing. My role on the operations team is to enhance the work that other individuals are focussing on. Projects can be rolling out new tools that make work easier, ...

When I was at Prudential I didn’t negotiate a salary/job offer well enough. They have opportunities to progress to new positions and it comes down to just doing a good job overall in your current position. Talk to your manager about moving up and they will help you get there even if it means more...
