Vantaggi
Great benefits, great management (Princor BDS), they are knowledgeable in all areas and if they will go above and beyond to find any answers that they don't have themselves. They support your growth, listen and actually APPLY feedback from their employees and fight for their teams to upper management if changes need to be made. Employees are treated like adults (as opposed to competitor companies in the DSM area). There was quite the opportunity for growth and positive encouragement from management if the choice was made to leave the department. The company does a lot (in my opinion) to show appreciation and gratitude for employees. My co-workers were all on the same page and there to get the job done & ease the workload. Opportunity for overtime depending on the workload. I would work here again & recommend the company to others. Granted this was just my experience with Princor BDS & I can't speak for other areas but the department I was in was a group of warriors all the way to middle management and they made it an enjoyable experience to work for Principal.
Svantaggi
No cons to Broker-Dealer Services at all. Overall, the company has a corporate feel, you can get lost in it if you don't truly understand where your department fits in. Upper management could maybe stand to listen to ideas of middle management or new employees to the company & needs to be quicker at applying changes once a decision has been made to do so but other than that...
