Pros

TIAA-CREF and the people who work there genuinely care about their clients and their investment outcomes. The benefits are great, including health insurance, fitness reimbursements, and compensation. Most managers seem to take seriously their employees' work-life balance. The corporate culture places a strong emphasis on diversity.

Cons

It is a large company, which sometimes translates into bureaucracy and monolithic thinking that is slow to change. The long name can be unwieldy at times. The company does not have the brand recognition it deserves, though it is trying to change that.

Pros

Employee benefits, retirement plan, PTO (when you have the time to take it)

Cons

More and more work added to you, exhausting days. New positions get eliminated and the work gets dropped and those below. (Expect more with no pay change)
