Pros

Principal offers great benefits, a lot of autonomy, and there are many opportunities to grow. The training program is strong

Cons

Product prices slightly higher than the market which can make it harder to win competitive sales presentations. No real CRM to store information or create notes, everyone seems to keep excel files.
