Pros

Good pay and benefits are nice

Cons

Management likes to micromanage the absolute hell out of you to the point where they’re asking why you’re away while you use the bathroom. Be ready to feel like you’re in 3rd grade again being treated like a child who cannot make big grown up decisions about how you spend your time offline. Need a drink of water? Better ask management if they’ll ALLOW you to step away for a drink. You’re just a number here, however; you’re the least important number in the company. You see, they only care about call volume, meeting SLA, and having enough people to fill up their depressing office. Get ready to also not have any working systems, you will experience technical issues left and right but you still need to meet your metrics and be a good little customer service rep. Even if you’re a top performer and do everything right, you’re still getting screwed over. I don’t recommend this job to anyone, but if you’re okay with being treated like a child and ignore your mental health, it’s great pay.

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.
