Pros

Outstanding retirement plans, strong matching on 401K and a Cash Balance PENSION. Really value work/life balance. Nice campus with tons of amenities on site.

Cons

Principal is still an insurance company at its core, so if you are looking for a TRUE hardcore investment management company, this isn't it. Sometimes wish our investment product line would be deeper.

Pros

Great opportunity to start a career. You can legitamitely move throughout the company starting with this role.

Cons

Bad contact center environment. Back to back calls every day. They only discuss call times and never what leads to the numbers.
