Pros

Great Retirement Package, Great starter job out of college. The people in the fox holes dealing with participants of TIAA-CREF everyday are great people.

Cons

Variable bonus pool is like trying to hit a moving target. Managment is so out of touch with the real world. If you are thinking about working at TIAA-CREF stop by any office first and take somebody to lunch to find about the real TC.

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
