Principal Financial Group Reviews

What is it like working at Principal Financial Group?

They say it's a job that'll see you through to retirement, but I don't owe them that.
Technical Writer in Des Moines:
Pros: There's a lot of flexibility around my work hours, I'm trusted to get work done, and compensation is at least average.
Cons: Due to recent staffing issues and lack of commitment to retention from PFG, my workload has doubled while my pay has stagnated. The promotion I was promised in the spring is being locked behind a financial freeze. Meanwhile, my old supervisor left and doubled her pay.
Satisfying work for excellent organization.
Manager of Client Services in Chicago:
Pros: Ethical company truly trying to do the right thing. Love the people and love my team. My peers and the team I support.
Cons: Not a thing.
No day is the same.
Business Director in Des Moines:
Pros: Freedom to choose what I work on and to be creative in finding solutions to problems that have existed for a long time.
Cons: The pace of change at times
