Priorities Change for the Worse

Pros

Great coworkers and non-senior management. That's about it.

Cons

The priorities of senior management are not where they should. Instead of spending money wisely, the current head of marketing spent several million dollars just to have a hip hop song about retirement written. And now they are laying off people and moving a lot of marketing jobs overseas to India in order to save money.

Pros

Benefits, great lower level people working there, the customers

Cons

Leadership is in a bubble and full of hypocrisy. Communication and honest company strategy doesn’t make its way to lower levels. It’s losing the magic that once made this place special.

Pros

Above average compensation, good retirement plan

Cons

TIAA lies to everyone except its employees. Its client facing reps are there to do one thing: sell more TIAA stuff. I'd rather have worked at Hooter's, would've had more dignity since everyone knows the premise of the place. TIAA claims its employees don't receive commissions! Well, what do you call it when your bonus can be 3-5x higher than your average salary? I would pull out every nickel out of this place. Advisors are taught to use scare tactics, bullying, and the most lowbrow of sales techniques such as putting fear of dying, leaving spouse unprotected, etc.
