Pros

Depending on your age, TIAA-CREF automatically contributes between 10-18% of your base salary to a retirement plan after 6 months of service. The campus in Charlotte is beautifully landscaped and a relaxing place to take your lunch or break.

Cons

Layoffs. About 175 employees were laid off in Charlotte so far in August alone. Many of those former employees were key players and now there is no succession plan to fill those huge gaps that were created by the layoffs. This is not the first time that management has taken action before fully thinking about the consequences.

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

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.
