Pros

Pay and benefits are fair. Pto is alright when you start. Some of the skills you get can be used in other companies.

Cons

Management is awful. They still act like they are managing people in the late 80s and early 90s. When you first get hired the company will try to be nice because you will be filling a position that has been vacant for months usually because someone quit unexpectedly. Afterwards you will see that there is no training or development for you whatsoever. Promotions are given to friends and relatives that posses no skills, experience or academics to back their promotions. You will be given a promotion based on company need not what your skillset is. There is no work life balance. 7-6 is expected for all title positions. You will come in on saturdays work past 7 on weekdays and answer your phone and emails on vacation and sick days. When you try to balance your life they will get mad. New employees dont get the perks that tenure employees get all the time. Recommendations and complaints are swept under the rug and if you complain too much about the unfair treatment you are pushed out. They want you to put your head and down work and not rocked the boat even if its completely unfair and ethical. What someone else wrote about being promoted and then fired a few months later is completely true and just proves my above statement about the lack of training. From my own person experience this company and this office does not care about its employees whatsoever. The work environment is not friendly, the company is non-appreciative and the pay isnt that good. My recommendation is to consider the countless other options before selling your soul to this company.

Pros

Great culture, good compensation and benefits. Excellent management team, very supportive and interactive with the team.

Cons

Onboarding was a challenge due to IT’s lack of clear direction. The loan origination system crashes a lot.

Pros

Hybrid schedule is reasonable, with only three days a week required in office. Benefits are decent and we have a fairly new office building is a nice.

Cons

Don’t be fooled by Glassdoor’s rating. It likely reflects the old Ally, not the company it is today. Ally used to be a great place to work, with strong culture, meaningful work, and real innovation. They used to pride themselves on culture, and now it’s the worst I’ve seen it. There have been significant leadership changes, with many of the leaders who made Ally great shown the door. Round after round of layoffs has everyone whispering about who’s next, and the people who remain here are stuck cycling through failed re-orgs meant to “fix” the department. It’s gotten bad enough that I know people actively hoping to get cut just to walk away with severance. If it doesn’t get better soon, I might be hoping to be let go myself. I can’t recommend it the way I once would have.
