      Pros

      Good pay, Good Benefits. Very nice campus in Charlotte. Great CEO.

      Cons

      Very poor work life balance (especially in IT infratsructure departments), Wrong people in the technical manager roles. Expect a re-org in every season. There is a 3 year vesting period for retirement benefits. This could be your only motivation to stay with the company. Recent culture survey results show 70% of people want to leave the company. Co-workers get very insecure and not trust each other. No team building activities. Almost impossible to shift jobs internally, unless you are in the inner circle of senior leadership. Cant speak for business groups but it can get very frustrating to work in some IT departments at TIAA-CREF.

      Good Company to work but be careful what department you work for. It makes a difference.

      Pros

      Excellent benefits and good people.

      Cons

      Stay away from operations! Its a dead end department. They lock you in promise you growth but it never happens. Very difficult to get out of department because they need the people but don't want to recognize the knowledge and skills that the people possess. No work life balance at all. You never know what time you are going home.
