Great company to work for
Jan 27, 2023 - Department Administrator in Los Angeles, CARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Great supportive teams. Fringe benefits. Executive dining floor. Summer family picnic. Competitive Pay. Great health benefits and continued education opportunities within via TCW U. Hybrid work environment. Collaborative diverse teams.
Cons
Business floors accessible on multiple elevator banks which at times can make getting to a meeting on different floors more time consuming. Cell phone coverage and wifi in some areas not as strong as others.

Its ok to learn then move on
Jan 31, 2023 - Associate in Los Angeles, CARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Some very knowledgeable people and amazing people to work with. Been with the firm for years and you get to make some meaningful relationships which is the best part of TCW.
Cons
Pay is on the lower end (unless you are management then your compensation is great) career progression is also stagnant. You can transfer to a new department, but you never advance your career. There is a constant flow of turnover and management not addressing why. Managers are hit or miss. Its a good place to work to learn, but then you will move on to another firm as TCW is not keeping up with other opportunities out there.

Pros
People are great to work with
Cons
There are none to report
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Dining and the dining staff
Cons
I feel my manager is rude and favors other employees - I believe my career is limited here because of that. The culture feels very toxic as it seems exclusions happened more often than inclusions. It also feels that face time is highly important, as such, I don't even feel comfortable taking a short break from my desk, let alone taking a lunch.

Micromanaged
Dec 20, 2022 - Assistant Vice President in Los Angeles, CARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Dining staff, parking, location, elevators
Cons
Much time is wasted on micromanagement that accomplishes nothing and waiting for the next meeting.
- Former Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★

Awful culture, toxicity is perpetuated
Feb 24, 2022 - Anonymous EmployeeRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Nothing, I cannot think a a single thing I can recommend.
Cons
This place has the most uncomfortable, tense, and toxic environment and culture I've ever worked at in my entire career. Management and select few middle managers are virtually untouchable, they can do no wrong even when racism and bullying is rampant. Going to human resources was fruitful and retaliation was subtle. I didn't have the money to pursue a lawsuit so I left.
