Pros

GMAC requires no experience for exceptional cantidate references They will put you through school internally to help you succeed at their company.

Cons

Their computers are very slow. You have to arrive at least 15 minutes early to turn the computer on... so the program can load and you can clock in. The company uses no punch card time clocks. The company only uses a program that you must pull up and enter your employee id number and hit enter and you are clocked in. The thing is, when the computer is slow loading , and even though you were early, I used to get in trouble, "called in the office and talked to" when it showed on the program that I was late. They dont acknowledge their slow computers, and the fact that everyone arrives early just to try to get the program up in time to sign in...

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.
