Principal Financial Group

Engaged Employer

Principal was a solid employer. If I would have had challenging work more consistently, I would probably still be there. - Data Modeler Principal Financial Group Employee Review

Pros

Principal offers really good benefits and perks including both a 401(k) and a Pension. They have an excellent culture that puts people first, and have a strong focus on Diversity and Inclusion.

Cons

Principal is pretty up-front that their salary is at the mid to lower end of the market. As an IT professional, there wasn't a consistent volume of intellectually challenging work for me to engage in.

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.
