First of all, Do always returns Null, but the assignment still happened, evaluate job[0] to check.

However for your computation to work you need to distribute the definition of step and enclose the local value of i in ParallelSubmit:

t = AbsoluteTime[];
initial = 1
final = 20000000
step = (final - initial + 1)/8
Clear["job"]
Clear["i"]

DistributeDefinitions[step]
Do[job[i]=ParallelSubmit[{i},Table[Prime[k], {k, step*i + 1, step*(i + 1)}]]
, {i, 0, 7}]

Clear["a"]
Table[a[jj], {jj, 1, 8}] = WaitAll[Table[job[j], {j, 0, 7}]]

time2 = AbsoluteTime[] - t
