      Pros

      As a 10 year + employee of the Principal Financial Group, I am happy with the opportunities, the stability, and the benefits the company has to offer. I buy into the " the grass isn't always greener on the other side" mindset as I've seen peers leave and quickly want to come back. If you are someone that works hard and continues to develop, opportunities will be presented.

      Cons

      As I suspect is true of most large companies, navigating the political scene can be taxing.

      Pros

      Non contributory pension plan in addition to 401k. Great work/life balance. If you have an emergency and have to take time off they are very understanding. Good amount of paid time off. My salary is higher than for comparable positions with other companies. Opportunities to work from home in a lot of departments.

      Cons

      Medical benefits have high copays until you max out your contributions. Difficult to get another position from some departments although they heavily promote from within.
