Pros
Tiaa Cref pays their employees very well and has high expectations as well. They are in the process of transforming the company to be more competative in the market place. The inbound consultant position requires a person who is passionate about both financial services AND sales. The clients are mostly educators,hospital employees, people who work for non-profits, etc. Tiaa Cref is viewed as a highly ethical company and also sets the standard for customer service for a lot of other financial companies.
Cons
Because of the transformation process that T/C is going through right now, they may not have been emphasizing the need for people with prior sales experience (at least for the inbound consultant position). I think this is something they are working on, however, but it is something to be aware of if you accept a position with this company. Also, the technology (internal systems, etc) might not be up to par yet, but that is another facet of the company that they are improving as well.
