Pros

Even though they have reduced the retirement benefits in recent years, it is still a most generous plan. There are a lot of opportunities and the company is very open to work from home.

Cons

The company has lost much of what made it a great organization and what set it apart from most Fortune 100 companies. It used to care about how employees/customers/participants were treated, now, it is very bottom-line oriented. This is often to the detriment of customer service. However, if you are a client in the wealth management category (i.e. you have $$), then you will be treated a little better. This place was known for having really smart employees, now there are many idiots who simply know how to play the politics in senior positions. Morale suffers.

Pros

There are some very good people at TIAA-CREF. The options for telecommuting are good and flexible work hours are available.

Cons

The frequent reorganizations means you are constantly changing strategy. There is very little team atmosphere and lots of finger pointing. They will work you for hours without even a thank you. The benefits package is average.
