Good benefits and pay, but leadership issues persist

Financial services consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits. TIAA tends to pay a little higher than industry standards.

Cons

Paying higher than rest of industry can make it hard to leave the company in a lateral move. Technology and use of overseas processing is making things worse, not better. Recent changes in leadership in the call center within the last 4 years ago seems to have been detrimental.
