Great Benefits but HR and management unethical and dishonest

Regional Director (Former Employee)

I worked at Principal Financial

ProsThe benefits are among the best I've seen. Product line up was good and getting better.

ConsFound HR to simply be a tool of management and not responsive to employee needs. In my personal case, management re-wrote an annual review to better serve their needs. I brought this along with evidence in the form of e-mails and other dated and signed documents to HR, but could not get a return call. I understand that I work in an "at will" state and can be let go for any reason, but was sad to see the lengths that management went to to fabricate situations and re-write history to make their case. That is not the way that you treat any employee, much less a top producer in your division.

Advice to Senior Management1. Make sure that HR looks out for the employee's rights 2. Lying and fabrication of stories should not be tolerated in any employee.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
