Business outlook
Pros
The company has great ratings and a tremendous reputation and legacy. TIAA-CREF truly places the client first and strives to keep expenses low - although unsuccessful in the last few years.
Cons
The C-Suite is very weak and with little outside experience. They are siloed and as a result there is a great distance in communication between the top and the rank and file. The organization is heavily matrixed, adding great redundancy in communication and difficulty in moving projects and ideas forward. Aside from the insurance business, all of the non-pension businesses are money losers. And the insurance CEO left our of frustration.
