If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't. Lots of promises to get you in the door... - Anonymous employee TIAA Employee Review

Pros

Co Workers and Clients (Participants). Please remember that this site wasn't really set up for positive feedback on most employers, most people want to know what's screwed up. I bet that those "positive" "glowing" reviews are being written by a manager or a human resources director desperately trying to keep their job. Sometimes the truth sucks, but be glad to know before you take the job.

Cons

If you are hard-up for a job in the financial industry, this is the job for you. Looking for a high pressure sales job for $36,000 per year? Then this is the job for you. Like being threatened with your job by the management team? Then this is the job for you. Like having to sign a promise to generate a certain of dollars in sales but not given the opportunity to close them? Then this is the place for you. Like being exceptionally micro-managed? Not just one system, Siebel AND now KRONOS. Then this is the job for you. Like working for a company that changes the measurement of your process in the middle of the year and costs you your bonus? Then this is the job for you!

Pros

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

Cons

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.
