Pros

the company contributes the equivalent of 18 percent of your salary to your pension every year

Cons

Let's see the CEO is on the presidents economic recovery advisory team but has outsourced many positions to india which has resulted in mass layoffs of staffers in the United States. The Chief Technology Officer previous experience deals mostly with information security. If you are not part of the good ole boy network then LOOKOUT. The companies advertises a pay for performance culture. This is not observed as the compensation given to employees is based on what your bonus was three years ago as opposed to what your performance rating was in the current year. For real

Pros

Supposedly the benefits, the work-life balance, good location to work at in Charlotte, the parking garages on right on campus and free.

Cons

Behind on technology, not progressive, doesn't seem willing to pay people what they deserve, not as many opportunities across groups compared to bigger companies.

Pros

TIAA-CREF does offer good benefits such as retirement contributions, vacation time and education reimbursements.

Cons

The company seems to be morphing into any other financial services company. I felt this used to be a good place to work and in fact a good company to potentially spend an entire career. However, this has changed over the past 5-7 yrs.
