      Pros

      Principal is a global company and offers a variety of opportunities for individuals to work and travel internationally while residing a small city.

      Cons

      Seniority and job titles are very important and are often the primary factor in promotions and assignments, rather than skills, performance or potential. Pay is often not competitive for like positions in the Des Moines market.

      Pros

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

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