Vantaggi

The benefits, except for the time off. You don’t get time off unless you know you’ll need it 3 months out. There were never enough employees to be able to request a day off the same month, let alone the same week. So you have to call in. Management actively encourages employees to request as many days off as they feel they need, even if you might not use them. So what you get is 20 people all requesting any day off that’s available so that when a person actually needs to take time off, there is none available. So you have to call in and you get punished. Appealing to management does nothing because “it’s in the handbook.”

Svantaggi

Dismissive leadership, poor training (i only survived cuz of my experience), high turnover, archaic systems, customers and agents who regret placing business like you wouldn’t believe, no correspondence was principal reviewed, took me 6 months to get a new chair after I complained of back pains.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

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.
