Pros

Entry level positions with acceptable benefits.

Cons

The culture is not inclusive at the local levels outside of Charlotte. They are bringing everyone back into office to be told what to do and micromanaged by the old white guys that are in the leadership positions in the smaller offices. These offices are not inclusive, and are stuck in their outdated ways of discriminating against parents. That will be even worse now when we have to leave the office to care for a sick child or appointments when that could be done while working if they would allow work from home. USAA, U.S. Bank, M&T, PNC, TD Bank, Bank of America, Regions, Discover, Charles Schwab etc... are way more remote friendly than Ally. They all have a decent percentage of completely remote job postings. How is Ally going to compete to retain and recruit. I have applied for 20 other remote banking jobs in the past 2 weeks and I know a lot of people in my department have as well. Nobody wants to sit in an uncomfortable office environment for a customer service/call center type job.

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.
