Pros

Managers that are in the trenches and understand the employee’s struggles and tribulations and most have practical experience have been at the ground level at some point in their career. Most mid-level managers have a long tenure 10+ years with the company providing a good base of knowledge and help set appropriate expectations.Managers that are in the trenches and understand the employees struggles and tribulations.

Cons

Linear bottom up progression through ranks, salaries are not extremely competitive, technology platforms are outdated, cumbersome and bulky. Senior leadership exists in a vacuum, huge discrepancy in strategic guidance versus practical reality of life for the average ‘worker bee’. Most movement is lateral throughout the company, very difficult to move up in the ranks without putting significant time and effort into existing role (3-5 years). No salary transparency or clear resources for professional development and career pathing.

Pros

The people at TIAA are very friendly and the hours are manageable and very flexible. It is a large organization so groups vary widely and if you move among groups, it is almost like starting a new job. Great place for a person starting their career to get large corporate experience.

Cons

TIAA probably has its share of below average performers. In that sense, they are willing to give people more than a single chance to improve.
