Everything is out of date. Are we still in the 1990's?

Pros

Benefits. Paternity and maternity leave is 16 weeks - paid. Short term disability.

Cons

Strict schedules. Website and investment products are out dated. If you work in the call center, you will get yelled at, cussed out over stuff that you have no authority to change or help with at least a few times a day. All the departments can only do one function and thats it. If you like to get paid to be somebody's verbal punching bag, this might be the job for you.

Pros

Good salary, benefits, lots of volunteer opportunities. Recruiting process is fantastic and TIAA seems like it should be a great place to work - until you get inside the door!!

Cons

Lack of training and no one really tries to help new employees. Everyone pretty much keeps to themselves. Departments have way too many levels of hierarchy and no sense of community or teamwork.

Pros

TIAA-CREF, now TIAA, really is at its heart one of the “good guys” of finance. The company truly attempts to protect the financial futures for the institutions and individuals they serve.

Cons

Too much internal politics; the people most likely to be promoted are skilled at the art of self promotion while the people stating the sometimes difficult but true facts have their careers derailed. For a Marketing professional it is a culture in which mediocracy thrives and true talent is squandered.
