Pros

Keeping in mind that it is a sales position, the current setup for the Michigan office is one of an upward trajectory, led by all levels of management. They train well, bringing in and utilizing lots of resources, and they themselves have been successful in the career, so they know what it takes. Hard work, but they will put in equal amounts of hard work into you. Earnings are basically unlimited (dependent on individual sales), with generous bonus structure. Benefits are great, including 401k, pension, health, dental, among much more.

Cons

Pay is commission only. While they put money into a "pool" to make sure you get paychecks over a period of time, it is all dependent on actual production, with no base salary. Not necessarily a con, but not for everyone. Again, not necessarily a con, but at least at the beginning, requires more than a typical 9-5 schedule. Make your own schedule, which has its benefits, but must be structured, and often requires work into the evenings as you work to build up your book of business (though not necessarily required).

Pros

The culture and the way Pru treats it's employees is wonderful. They vet their hires thorougly, so you rarely find anyone that is not terrific in their role. Their benefits are also great.

Cons

Current AI adaptation has sent the tech side of the organization into a bit of a spin, as it has in almost all organizations. Due to that, some reorganization have been occurring, and many very talented leaders have been laid off. But the focus remains on the customer always, and no doubt these changes will level off soon.
