      Pros

      Principal has the best training program for people who want to get into the business where the real money is at. They start you off with a 4 month salary and even provide benefits. Commissions are complicated but the best out there. The biggest 401k player in the market. Great Managing Director who is a straight shooter. He is very ethical and is an expert at sales.

      Cons

      Expect to work hard, but rewarded handsomely. The biggest challenge to learn to focus and keeping ourselves accountable.
