Pros

Great place to work with inspiring mission to help people retire with the confidence that their lifetime earnings and investments will sustain them. All management team seems committed to the mission and to the employees and to offering more ways to help employees with retirement. I am able to be very creative in my work and question ideas that I think could be done a better or different way.

Cons

Sometimes we have to go through too many steps that take too long (like needing the legal group to review and approve almost everything) to gain approval to try something new to us that other companies have been doing for a long time-like use social media more in many areas of the company.

Pros

- Great team from department head down - Collaboration is encouraged - Self-starter culture with good room for side projects - "See something, say something" approach allows questioning methodology without a feeling of personal attacks or "dumb questions" and enables team members to support each other in a safe environment - Work from home

Cons

- Executive leadership does not know what they want - Consistent turnover in C-Suite leads to departments acting like small internal companies rather than part of a larger system - Limited permission access for team members means that any absence or time-off can lead to a backlog of deployments
