Pros

Honestly, I cannot think of any pros.

Cons

Constant micromanagement, highly unorganized back office resulting in some terrible client experiences. Apathetic leadership. Also, myself and my training class were blatantly lied to about the duties associated with this role. We were told that this would be trading position when in reality we help clients navigate the Ally invest website all day.

Pros

Outstanding benefits (notably 401k and parental leave)

Cons

Don't think for a second they care about "Doing it Right" for their employees. HR always puts out a great message, but this is never backed up by leadership or management.

Pros

Good compensation package but not as good as others in the industry Outstanding senior management team at the EC level, but their direct reports (2 down from the CEO) are not as good, most are controlling and territorial due to incompetency Good intent to drive diversity and inclusion from the top, but it all falls flat with execution at the grass root level. My own management team does not even embrace it. It's all talks without any meaningful actions

Cons

See the Cons included in the Pros listed There are quite a few long-term employees who are basically deadwood at the company, especially those with over 10 years at the company. They are keeping the company from transforming or innovating at a faster speed as they are blocking new people to do anything good for the company. Any new initiatives takes YEARS to launch on the bank side. They don't award or recognize employees who got the job done. Instead, those competent people have been driven out of the company because they make those old-timers look so bad Diversity and inclusion at this company is only on paper. It's evident by just counting the number of minority leaders in the EC and the percentage of people of color who work as a Senior Director or higher HR and many corporate systems are still leveraging technology from the 80s
