Pros

I worked at a field sales office. The reps I supported were amazing as was the sales manager. The size of the team lead to establishing amazing relationships.

Cons

Sales staff was commission only and as a result they could be demanding and difficult to work with. Commute was brutal.

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.
