Pros

Ally provides a great benefits package, including insurance, 401K match, PTO, etc.

Cons

The reality is Ally is not the company it used to be. They're saying all the right words but the actions just aren't there. I diversity programs appear to be for show, likely a regulatory/fed requirement. The only diversity efforts within Supply Chain are trying to bring on diverse suppliers and adding the appropriate reporting language to the contracts. There are no women executives in Supply Chain and clearly no desire to add any. If you're a white male, you'll go far. I used to love working for this company but the train is way off the tracks and I don't see any (positive) change(s) coming. Women are leaving in droves out of Supply Chain and no one seems concerned. There are, however, other departments where diversity is apparent. It's a shame that it's not incorporated across the organization. When it comes to Covid, employees working very successfully from home for over two years. Ally seemed super supportive and, again, said all the right words. However, as soon as numbers started to decline, there was a strong demand to be in the office. A lot of passive-aggressive messaging. They want to follow the stance of the big banks, except they aren't a big bank. They finally backed off when the negative news came out about JP Morgan demanding employees return to office using much of the same messaging Ally was using. Ally leadership has since backed off but I expect that to change. Attrition is high and people will continue to leave because they don't want the pressure of physically having to be in the office. Ally had record numbers for the last two and a half years so clearly, being 'better when we're together' is false messaging and the employees see right past it.

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.
