Pros

TIAA-CREF is an ethical, highly rated financial services company with excellent investment products and services. The organization strives for employee inclusion and diversity, and receives numerous awards in recognition. Salaries and benefits are equal to or higher than those of competitors and there is ample opportunity for advancement. I was proud to work there.

Cons

In the past TIAA-CREF was slow to respond to industry changes, but frequent organizational changes have occurred for more than a decade. Adjustments are sometimes too swift which I found unsettling and stressful.

Pros

Excellent retirement plan benefits. Overall good work setting and professional development is encouraged.. a great place to learn and gain expertise about the retirement and financial services industry. Tuition reimbursement program is also good.

Cons

Internal HR job posting and hiring process is challenging when it comes to feedback and follow through from HR talent advisers. It can takes weeks or months to get a follow up response after an interview. Sometimes there is no response at all, which can be very disconcerting.
