It is a much different organization from even 5 yrs ago. Management decisions are not participant or employee focused. - Wealth Management Advisor TIAA Employee Review

Pros

Avg to better than avg benefits. Vacation allowance is good but management does not like when you use all of it.

Cons

Unrealistic goals that are unachieveble unless you put client needs second. Middle management just takes their matching orders from upper management and are not empowered nor encouraged to provide solutions to helping the company forward. Very big disconnect between management and employees.

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.
