Ally Financial reviews

Pay is not competitive, fake culture, no work from home options. I am not sure why there are so many positive reviews in here saying Ally is flexible and offers work from home because that isn't correct. There may be some work from home options for a small percent of auto workers, but non at all in banking, especially for CC&E. I have a position where I work mostly alone all day. None of my team is at my site. I will still be in zoom meeting with people in other locations all day. 90% of my work is behind the scenes and done completely alone. They are still making me come back to a building and lose and personal time 5 days a week. There goes my balanced personal life and pretty much all of my job satisfaction. I have started looking at other jobs immediately. If you are interviewing with Ally, realize they are completely intolerant towards working from home AT ALL. Very outdated environment and expectations.

The strict no work from home outlook that Ally holds. We are bringing all of our employees back to office the majority of the week in the coming few weeks. Ally has been lying to employees telling them they are committed to flexibility and they know we are performing well at home but they want us in the building for the culture. Ally has lied and told employees they will offer hybrid schedules one we get back in the building. In a recent leadership meeting, we were told Ally will be pulling employees back to office 5 days a week soon. The supposed hybrid schedule is just for a short period of time during re-entry so that employees have a very limited time to reintroduce themselves to working in office. Then we are going to pull it out from under them and force them to work out of tiny cubicles, in an open floor plan office, with no personal space and now windows 5 days per week. We are lying to and tricking our employees into thinking they will at least have a hybrid option when Ally has not intention of actually offering this. We are lying to prevent all of our employees from a mass exit to more remote friendly companies instead of offering our employees options and flexibility. A lot of our positions also translate well to other industries and companies that offer fully remote positions. Even though a lot of managers want to give their team flexibility and work life balance, Sr. Leadership will not allow it. A lot of other financial institutions are offering more remote options and more hybrid friendly schedules with only 1-2 days in the building instead of 3=4. I am worried that all of our employees will jump ship to other financial companies who have a friendlier environment to young workers that balance that remote work gives them. Our young workers know it is impossible to maintain their outside life and responsiblities when they work in a building 9-10 hours a day then commute a few hours a day, then also have to get read and packed up every single day. That takes what is supposed to be an 8-9 hour work day, into taking up at least 12-14 hours of our days. When are we supposed to spend time with our children and raise them. Ally does pay decently but it isn't worth giving up our personal lives to sit in a depressing office with people who don't respect our personal space and privacy just to do the same job but get interrupted more. I could see 1-2 days in office for relationship building, but Ally doesn't trust us at all.
