      Good Company, Tough getting going

      Pros

      Principal has great products and great people that are excellent resources for Principal's sales force. Leader in retirement plans and working with small to medium sized businesses.

      Cons

      Tough to get started in financial services unless you can go out and find a book of business to purchase. Given a four month transition salary but unless your an experienced agent its pretty tough after the first year and you have called everyone you know.
