Pros

The clients are the best reason to work at TIAA CREF

Cons

On the one hand, leadership would like our company to be distinctive from other financial service firms but at the same time, all of the policies and changes, particulary those in HR, seem to be aimed at making us the same as everyone else.

Pros

Pay and benefits. Leaders within department org are great. Awesome people to work with day to day

Cons

Senior leaders at top of org are meh. Talks of 5 days a week in office very soon. It feels there is a lot less flexibility than before covid with a lot of badge report monitoring and micromanaging everyone to be in office for 8 hours. Whereas before pandemic it was a lot more lenient to go to doctor appt or child care without worry of retaliation that I didn't hit my days in office this week without a documented reason
