      Pros

      I have had a really great experience working at Principal. They pay fairly, and have great 401(k) matching. Great work/life balance.

      Cons

      The health insurance could be better for such a large company. They don't over charge their employees for it but, the ER co-pay on the better plan is $750, which is pretty high.
