Pros

Outstanding retirement plans, strong matching on 401K and a Cash Balance PENSION. Really value work/life balance. Nice campus with tons of amenities on site.

Cons

Principal is still an insurance company at its core, so if you are looking for a TRUE hardcore investment management company, this isn't it. Sometimes wish our investment product line would be deeper.
