Prudential, the insurance company, continues to recruit nationwide for work from home Customer Service Professionals for their Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance program.
Update – Looks like the company has received all the applications it needed and has deleted the job listing. Good luck to everyone who applied! For more jobs like these, see our Daily Jobs and Gigs page.
**************
While they are hiring nationally, the company has only posted the pay rate for Colorado. That rate is “$36,600 – $49,700 + discretionary incentive bonus + benefits.” The rate may vary from state to state, but this will give you a rough estimate of the range.
No state hiring restrictions mentioned. It appears that the company will be providing a computer.
Paid training is also included with the job.
Cell phone or landline OK. College isn’t required.
Here’s what the company has posted about the openings:
