Pros

Great benefits. Very nice campus.

Cons

Senior management is no longer trustworthy, no longer operating within our 100-year-old values, and no longer different in any material way from other Wall St. firms. These guys just announced new smart windows in the NY City office the same day they admitted more job cuts were coming. They said ending work from home was not a workforce reduction strategy but now have admitted most of those people will not be replaced. AND, by the way, there is a hiring freeze in place. This happens at TIAA about every 18 months now. So if you want a job where you can virtually NEVER stop worrying about being laid-off, TIAA is the place to be. In addition, the criteria for promotions is radically subjective. No rhyme or reason involved.

Pros

That I left the company

Cons

You lie to clients. You offer “financial planning” to clients but only do that to get them to bring external assets over. External assets is your only measure and that goal increases greatly every year.

Pros

-Salary is appropriate for the level of servicing provided to clients -Benefits are ok (better if you’re looking to start a family)

Cons

-Unsustainable expectations of sales from management -Micro management of experienced sales professionals -Teaches a sales technique that is questionable (arguments can be made by both sides but ultimately comes down to “intent”)
