Pros

Retirement benefits are attractive and the work is easy. Unfortunately you are not always rewarded for your hard work. Since there are so many managers and directors already the chances that you will be premoted has decreases.

Cons

work is too easy and promotions have become hard to come by. Add to that the recent layoffs and the morale has dropped substantailly. People are nervous and management doesn't give us much information. Most of the people I speak to are unhappy. The new CEO has an agenda to make money...period. Service levels will be sacrificed.

TIAA-CREF is going downhill

Pros

You have quite a bit of autonomy over projects and there are some intelligent people that are dedicated to their jobs. The retirement plan is good - each year, the company contributes a percentage of an employee's salary based on what age range they fall into.

Cons

The company has recently conducted layoffs and have let go of some really competent employees. It appears that the company does not have a good handle on how to address employee morale and balancing of workloads among the employee's that remain. The benefits are mediocre - PTO not competitive within the industry, only one health plan to choose, from, etc.
