Engaged Employer

Good place to work, made far better by co-workers but made worse when company went public. - Team Leader Principal Financial Group Employee Review

Pros

Large company with a number of areas to advance your career. Good benefits including defined benefit pension. Good people to work with. Availability to interact with senior management on a regular basis.

Cons

Salary targets at lower end of spectrum for comparable jobs at other companies. Too many vice presidents at this company. Just doing what is needed to get by is rewarded far too much and going above and beyond not rewarded enough at this company.

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.
