Pros

TIAA-CREF, now TIAA, really is at its heart one of the “good guys” of finance. The company truly attempts to protect the financial futures for the institutions and individuals they serve.

Cons

Too much internal politics; the people most likely to be promoted are skilled at the art of self promotion while the people stating the sometimes difficult but true facts have their careers derailed. For a Marketing professional it is a culture in which mediocracy thrives and true talent is squandered.

Pros

Great work life balance, good benefits, decent pay, ease of running your own practice as an “advisor”, and healthy work environment

Cons

Management styles can vary and affect your experience, upper management doesn’t seem to be well equipped to ensure the organization’s success but it is resilient nonetheless.

Pros

Compensation is great for advisors once they are promoted to VP. Everyone else has to wait a year and hope for a good rating that's more of a game than merit based

Cons

Woke culture, reverse discrimination, very frustrating to do business with as a client
