Terrible terrible terrible company to deal with. They are holding the surrender of a life insurance policy hostage! Requested three times, and each time they asked for something different to be sent to them. Will be starting legal action against them very soon.

Terrible experience. The claim managers are awful and extremely rude. There is no standards. Worst insurance company ever.

Prudential partners with Sedgewick for customer needs for my company. Sedgewick/Absence one is terrible. They are a very disorganized company. Deny on thing and then turn around and approve the same thing after they make you re-enter it. Send a letter to say they will cancel you claim after they were "unable to get ahold of you," even though you just talked to them and have nothing pending on your case. Ask for new FMLA paperwork to continue your case, say they receive it but don't actually continue it. Threaten to cancel it then say, "oh, I'll put in something to have it continued." Like wtf? I don't fill out a bunch of stuff for you because I don't still need it. You need to get this figured out.

I PAID MY CONTRIBUTIONS TO PRUDENTIAL FOR 37 YEARS IN RETURN FOR A GUARANTEED PENSION. ON 1ST JULY,2023 I WAS DUE MY PENSION, NOW OVER 8 MONTHS LATER I AM STILL WAITING FOR MY PENSION, NO PAYMENT DATE IS AVAILABLE FROM PRUDENTIAL, DOSENS OF COMPLAINTS AND OVER 200 HOURS ON THE TELEPHONE AND STILL NO PENSION, IT IS MY 65th BIRTHDAY ON 6th MARCH, 2024 AND WAS HOPING FOR A GOOD RETIREMENT BUT NO CHANCE WITH A COMPANY THAT DOES NOT CARE ABOUT IT CUSTOMERS, A TOTAL DISGRACE FOR A COMPANY, PRUDENTIAL SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN AND STOPPED FROM TAKING MONEY UNDER FRAUDULENT PROMISSES. I AM TOTALLY DISGUSTED WITH THIS COMPANY

It is obvious that all the new customer service personal only know what they read. If you try to explain something to them they just answer with the same thing they said before. I have been with Prudential all my life, what a mistake. When I receive a letter from them the company I feel sick and worry all night about having to deal with them again. My son always know when I am calling them because of how I sound and most of the time I end up in tears. I feel like they will never get my problem fixed..It seams to me that it is more important to out source the customer service and save money. I will stop rambling on and on but I could.

Avoid Prudential Financial like the bubonic plague. In particular, their Lancaster, PA field office and a clown named Evan Perets. Had "7 figures" invested with them for years and was the worst experience of my life. Bunch of cut-throat buffoons who even bulk at closing your account and returning all your money when requested to do so. Avoid at ALL COSTS!

My parents took out my policy when I was 8 years old. I am now 42. My father died 25 years ago and my mother recently passed. I have been trying to update the bank account that autopsy is taken out of. The amount of information needed to do this is ridiculous. I need the exact date the policy was taken out and the exact amount the policy was started with. Sorry, I was 8 years old and can't remember, haha. I will NEVER use this company for my own family. The only reason I am keeping this policy is due to the amount I would lose to cash it out. I'm trying to give them money and they make it almost impossible. If you decide to start a policy, my suggestion is keep every single paper they ever send you!

This company has the worst online and phone in customer service I have ever encountered. I was recently given power of attorney for my older parents and trying to change beneficiaries on policies. Their agent that they had for years moved on and they haven't had an agent for over 10 years. So when they asked me to make changes to the policies I decided to try it online first then phone into customer service after the website was too confusing to use. I wasted 2 days of my life dealing with the phone in customer service. I found a local Prudential agent who was willing to take on the work that I needed to get done. He is fantastic. If I did not find him I would never recommend this company to anybody. It sounds like the local agents have the same heartaches that phone in and online customers have as well. He has not told me this specifically but I can see there have been a lot of follow-up calls to me to get things straight. This is so unfortunate. My parents have had policies and annuities with this company for 50 years. Unless things change I would never recommend this company to anybody.

Their automated phone system is literal garbage. I’ve been trying to rollover my 403b since summer of 2023 and it’s Feb 2024. Every time I use their phone system AFTER putting in my SS twice and my pin twice and it asks for a yes or no, it hears my response and says sorry I can’t process that or sorry I don’t understand , let me forward you to someone completely irrelevant that’s going to hang up on you because it’s not their department.

The prudential customer service Group associated with Empower 401 K App are useless and ignorant. Reminds me of dealing with the cable company as prudential says its empower and empower says its prudential

I have had my pension with Pru for quite some years and paid in monthly. I moved to them on advice from my financial advisor, unfortunately I trusted them. I am now in the process of removing my savings to another company and have experienced the shear incompetence of Pru. Having looked at the performance of my pension investment I can see very little growth and huge charges for their services and also fees to my advisor. I would not recommend Prudential in any way, please be advised.

Following the sad passing of my brother and despite my brother leaving a valid Will Prudential have sent two letters advising that they, once they have completed their checks will decide who to pay my brothers pension to. One of the Pru letters was even dated before my brother passed away. My brother if had known that this would be the situation regarding his pension would have moved his pension years ago. This company is the only company that I have dealt with since my brothers passing who have ignored the Will and have a most absurd process/procedure which makes absolutely no sense at all. They have asked for a copy of the Will. Who are they to decide what should happen to the pension when a valid Will has been made. After all it’s not their money. The delay in the payment of my brother’s pension is causing unnecessary financial stress and stain. Most frustrating is that they insist on only using post to communicate. What century are they in?
