Pros

4 months maternity/paternity leave, up to 4 weeks off for caregivers leave (in addition to FMLA), generous salary and bonus compared to other financial firms.

Cons

TIAA has no idea what direction they’re wanting to go in. Every year they make drastic changes that causes layoffs, but will turn around and change right back to what they started with. We were told we would come into work one day a week then the CEO changed the workday to 3 days a week in office with no advanced notice. It’s like they’re throwing darts at a wall and whatever it lands on that’s what they go with. The systems are clunky and they are very behind in technology. Customers are rude and entitled even though they are in the wrong most of the time.

Pros

Great work life balance, good benefits, decent pay, ease of running your own practice as an “advisor”, and healthy work environment

Cons

Management styles can vary and affect your experience, upper management doesn’t seem to be well equipped to ensure the organization’s success but it is resilient nonetheless.

Pros

Compensation is great for advisors once they are promoted to VP. Everyone else has to wait a year and hope for a good rating that's more of a game than merit based

Cons

Woke culture, reverse discrimination, very frustrating to do business with as a client
