less than great for LGBTs

Pros

Not as cutthroat than the finance firm where I started my career Great retirement benefits

Cons

I came to TIAA assuming that its emphasis on Diversity and Inclusion would extend to LGBT employees. Unfortunately, the commitment seems like lip service. Some examples: - When here in NC the governor signed a bill restricting LGBT rights, TIAA (one of the largest employers in Charlotte) was silent. - There are virtually no LGBT people in senior leadership - the "Executive Leadership Group" has less than 2% who are openly gay (all are women). - While race/gender diversity is always noted as a plus for recruitment/promotion purposes, I have never seen sexual orientation noted. - I know many LGBT employees who feel that they would be further in their careers if they had stayed in the closet. Never a good sign.

Pros

I got a pay check and health insurance.

Cons

Where do I begin. Micromanaged with multiple daily stat reports ever day. You can take a call where someone asks to roll their money over and you're the star salesman and they fire you the next when your luck runs out. The calls themselves are like root canals. Constantly telling customers they can take their TIAA traditional out over 10 year. You're basically putting out fires all day and then getting scolded by management. In all honesty it took therapy and 2 years of living in isolation to regain mental health. I'd rather go to jail than work one more day for this company.
