Vantaggi

We eat our own dogfood - The best benefit of working here is by far the generous, company funded retirement annuity which you are fully vest in after 3 years. The company contribution rises progressively with your age, maxing out at 13% of salary a year around 50. They also match 100% on the first three percent of savings in your 401k. How many companies offer this sort of valuable benefit any more? Very helpful in building a secure retirement. Anecdotally, TIAA is less "Dilbert"-like than most companies of this size, though human resources has recently exhibited disturbing trends in the wrong direction.

Svantaggi

TIAA is a insurance company. It is not a high tech firm, or a company that likes to take risks. Depending on your point of view, this is good or bad. For me, a self described IT Professional, I find it a challenge to feel like I can make a significant contribution since the "business" views IT as a just a cost center. The IT folks they hire are smart, but their work efforts are fractured and disorganized due to a lack of organizational maturity. If you are expecting the latest in IT best practices, you will be disappointed.

Vantaggi

Good starting salary and benefits package.

Svantaggi

The longer you’re there, the more of an expectation that you work more for the same or less income. Producers find it hard to justify staying when leadership keeps moving the goal posts on how to increase income. No rhyme or reason as to how they decide “promotions.” One advisor might have one good year and get promoted over an advisor that produces year in and year out. They fail to share revenue because they’d have a hard time justifying the income level compared to outside advisors with a fraction of the book size. They claim and depend on brand recognition to justify a capped income but fail, or just won’t admit that is why they keep losing their top talent. Operations is a nightmare that I can’t even begin to describe. When I share the processes that have been in place for over a decade, colleagues in the industry shake their head and laugh. They can’t believe we earn and keep business. The saying while I was there was “the biggest threat we face is that TIAA clients start to explore their options outside of TIAA.”
