Pros

Principal is a conservative yet forward thinking company. With new DOL regulations beginning 1/1/17 they are positioned to stay an industry leader.

Cons

It feels like salaries are going down as commissioned positions are affected by the DOL rulings.

Pros

Principal FG is the best company I've been during my 20 years of working life. Unfortunately I had to resign for personal reasons. The work environment is great and the leadership does not make any difference between its employees. All are a great team. Excellent work life balance and many benefits and incentives for employees. A company with high ethical values and excellent reputation.

Cons

Nothing I can remember now.
