Pros

Entry level for agent jobs. Some ability to move up if you know the right people and suck up.

Cons

They focus more on the propaganda and lies that employees want to come back into office than they do developing the employees. It is literally like a cult, it is very insulting they don't think we are intelligent enough to think and speak for ourselves and read through their lies. The majority of us do not want to return to office, lying to us and saying everyone wants to come back is ridiculous. Only your "yes" people who are cowards and to afraid to speak their own minds are saying such. We have already started having recruiting problems due to people skipping us over for remote positions. Our managers asked us to brainstorm ways to market the positions to help with recruiting. Get with the program and listen to feedback Ally. Your employees do not want to be babysat in the office surrounded by germs and noise. We want to keep successfully working at home like we have been. You are just going to keep having trouble hiring and retaining employees.

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.
