Pros

Opportunity to collaborate with professionals within the community Direct management are accessible

Cons

If you want a job with a company who, at the end of the day, doesn't really trust the employees that they hire, consider TIAA. Redundant systems and micro-managing mean that way too much time is spent meeting the demands of big brother (vs. the job that you are actually hired to do). TIAA is still relatively new to the wealth management world and it is evident in their management style. They would be much better off hiring talented professionals and giving them a little reign to customize their own practice management, vs. the current approach of breathing down your neck and zero autonomy

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
