Pros

The company has great ratings and a tremendous reputation and legacy. TIAA-CREF truly places the client first and strives to keep expenses low - although unsuccessful in the last few years.

Cons

The C-Suite is very weak and with little outside experience. They are siloed and as a result there is a great distance in communication between the top and the rank and file. The organization is heavily matrixed, adding great redundancy in communication and difficulty in moving projects and ideas forward. Aside from the insurance business, all of the non-pension businesses are money losers. And the insurance CEO left our of frustration.

Pros

Call Center Management is good and although everyone is overworked they are supportive. Call Center VP is in touch with what needs to be done to fix things, it just takes so long to get it fixed.

Cons

More managers than leaders. Some old school managers in some parts of the company need to move on. hard to get decisoins made.
