Pros

Principal is a global company and offers a variety of opportunities for individuals to work and travel internationally while residing a small city.

Cons

Seniority and job titles are very important and are often the primary factor in promotions and assignments, rather than skills, performance or potential. Pay is often not competitive for like positions in the Des Moines market.
