Pros

The pay is among the top in the industry for call center representatives in the Denver area.

Cons

The management is extremely poor, from the top down. The products are extremely difficult for the employees to understand (particularly TIAA Traditional). The biggest product, TIAA Traditional, is clearly a fraudulent product and most investors in this product do not have the savvy to understand they are tying there money for a minimum of 10 years. Further, the company is extremely slow with processing. Rather than acknowledging a need to fix the problem, blame is passed from department to department for weeks to months on end, meanwhile, the customer is not being served.

Pros

Pay and benefits. Leaders within department org are great. Awesome people to work with day to day

Cons

Senior leaders at top of org are meh. Talks of 5 days a week in office very soon. It feels there is a lot less flexibility than before covid with a lot of badge report monitoring and micromanaging everyone to be in office for 8 hours. Whereas before pandemic it was a lot more lenient to go to doctor appt or child care without worry of retaliation that I didn't hit my days in office this week without a documented reason
