Avantages

PFG has the best daycare in Des Moines. They also offer pension with the 401k.

Inconvénients

Favoritism of management, no work/life balance, unrealistic expectations with low pay. Every year management gives the "2.8% bucket" lecture... hard workers who aren't the favorites get even less of a raise. They expect employees to come back from maternity leave, get no training, then produce the same amount of work as those fully trained. Forget about calling in! After calling in 3x in one year, management made up a "policy " threatening termination of employment if it continued to occur even AFTER physicians notes were furnished and when employee proved the policy didn't exist PRIOR to the call ins. Sales staff are unreasonable and unprofessional yet I was to support them with high degree of professionalism, total double standard.

Avantages

Three years in and still LOVE it. Great leadership. Work-like balance. Principal invests in their employees with training and professional development. It's very telling when literally thousands of employees have been there for 20-25-30+ years.

Inconvénients

First time in a large company. Sometimes it is tricky to find the right internal partner to get the answer you need.

Avantages

Decent work life balance and benefits. Principal offers a pension which is unheard of in today’s age.

Inconvénients

Pay is below average and Principal does not offer inflation raises. Once you hit the midpoint of your salary, you will get a 0% raise until you’re promoted, which will take multiple years regardless of performance. Performance reviews are vague and often used against employees to avoid promotions. At least in my department, I’ve yet to see any of the remote workers be promoted. This is starting to affect attrition and we’re already starting to see people leaving. It’s well known at this point that the best way to get promoted is to leave Principal and get rehired, which even leadership has stated publicly. This is a huge frustration and blow to morale, as it starts to feel like employees need to compete against their co-workers for raises.
