Lots of opportunities for advancement. Promote a work life balance. Great salary and benefits package. Leadership shows they care about their employees.

There are no downsides to working at Principal Financial Group. It is a great company to work for and I would recommend PFG to many other professionals.

Pros

Good comp, but comp structure is not explained properly. Benefits are fair, but are very costly to the sales team.

Cons

Talk a big game about supporting the sales force and puts together a front of training, but at the end of the day, any issues are not dealt with and are just brushed aside as being part of the industry.
