Pros

Principal was all in all a great company to work for. Dan Houston is an awesome CEO who is doing great things with the company: One Principal & empowered employees. The people are friendly and they really are about work-life balance.

Cons

There really weren't any cons to working at Principal. Maybe all the construction that is going on but it is what it is and will look great after it is all complete.

Pros

Awesome employees. Office moral was amazing

Cons

They train their advisors very little and offer no base salary after 3 months. It's nearly impossible not to starve as a new advisor.
