Ally Financial reviews

Everything else about the place. They discriminate against age and where you went to school, no advancement, they cater to kids with no experience or background and no responsibilities. These kids that still live at home with mom and dad are getting raises, promotions and advancement over people that have many years experience, strong background and more than qualified to do the job. Management lies to you and denies doing this, when everyone in the entire office is complaining about it. These kids from SIU start getting groomed for their future position they are promised as soon as they are hired, while the rest of the employees take a back seat to them. The Itasca office is a complete joke, the management is constantly micromanaging you, you are always being watched and recorded, and they are always letting you know of what your not doing. You will never get a compliment from them, but will always get critisizm. If you go for an interview and your not an SIU graduate, and they promise you a bonus and advancement, don't buy into their BS. they tell all non SIU people that and don't deliver. They just need warm bodies to answer their phones. Be warned, if you have another place your thinking of working at, TAKE IT.

There is a lack of consistency between what the senior leadership says and what they actually do. There are no checks and balances to ensure that the culture that is preached on commercials and inside of the organization, is actually realized by those working there. You have supervisors and managers who act as if they are kings and queens of their units or departments with little concern about how they actually treat employees. Your experience will depend on what area you work in. I worked in several different areas and the audit department was the absolute worst. The leader there is awful - she should have been a school teacher because she is not equipped to lead people. She is distant, cold and could care less about how her staff really feels nor does she care about living out the organizational culture. If you work in one of the sales oriented centers, you will find a male dominated culture, lacking consistency in leadership with supervisors who should have been relieved of their duties years ago - no integrity and not clear vision for leading people effectively.
