Pros

TIAA-CREF puts the needs of its clients first. The firm- a retirement leader- promotes the importance of retirement income to ensure a secure retirement. Advisors have a deep committment to the client and are not commissioned-based. Employees receive salaries not basis points on the products they sell. They are truly objective!

Cons

TIAA-CREF is not well-know outside its core client base of non-profit retirement providers. Its very unfortunate since its products, services and people offer a unique service model.

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
