Great Place to Work - Investment Operations Associate Principal Financial Group Employee Review

Pros

Great place to work. Amazing benefits, able to move around internally. Upper management is direct and doesn’t sugarcoat. In Des Moines you will see the CEO walking around and he likes to buy people lunch in 711. His jokes are sometimes funny.

Cons

There are a few bad apple managers who resist change. Avoid them and if you get one apply internally after a year.

Pros

Great opportunity to start a career. You can legitamitely move throughout the company starting with this role.

Cons

Bad contact center environment. Back to back calls every day. They only discuss call times and never what leads to the numbers.
