Pros

Focus was on the client not the sale or commission, I never felt as though they pushed that Boiler Room /Boys Club culture. It was a refreshing change!

Cons

I clashed with another assistant on the team and just couldn’t help but feeling my experience and feelings and my interactions with said person weren’t heard or validated - I felt unseen and unheard and ultimately decided it was a toxic stressful situation that I could choose to extricate myself from, so I did- and never looked back.

Pros

Working for Principal has been one of the highlights of my careers. Overall, the company culture is good, the benefits are strong, and the people are fantastic.

Cons

If you dig beneath the surface, especially in some departments, things aren’t always as great as they seem. Compensation could be better for most roles and some departments really struggle with leadership issues.
