Pros

Principal is a great company located in a great location. You get the benefits of working in a fortune 500 company without the costs associated with working on the coasts or a huge metropolis. Principal is big enough that you can move around to change careers but stay at the same company, but small enough that you can build close relationships.

Cons

Like most financial services companies, the last 4 years have brought a lot of pressure to keep the bottom line in the black.

Pros

The training program and resources are top notch. Very ethical. Management genuinely wants you to succeed.

Cons

Working on a commission only basis is tough. The stress level can be high at times around the office. Some of the corporate training is not entirely necessary and you get the feeling that you are at times getting the short end of the compensation stick.
