Pros
They pay us on time. Nice HSA contribution.
Cons
Where do I even start? Seeing the tagline "do it right" next to the ally logo is like a slap in the face. The only thing that ally leadership seems good at right now is creating a hostile, confusing, ineffectual workplace. They are so obsessed with the "butts in seats" mentality that they completely ignore the real problems that have our good talent running for the hills. If the job market wasn't so competitive right now, ally might not have any staff left at all. Managers have to beg for backfill when employees leave or are forced to run skeleton crews of increasingly burnt-out staff. They say budgets are tight, yet they'd rather run their current employees ragged than give up a sports sponsorship to cut costs. Wow, I'm sure glad we have a Nascar sponsorship! That really makes me feel better about doing the work of three people! Lately, they've been obsessing over attendance. Employees are judged on how long they are physically in the office and not on the quality of their work. They claim to offer "flexibility" but it's anything but. It's starting to feel like a big-brother situation. If we don't badge-in on time, we're labeled as "bad performers." Anyone seeking medical accommodations for wfh are faced with a humiliating and stressful request process before being denied outright or insulted with paltry "reasonable accommodations." This is made even more frustrating by the fact that they DO have full-remote employees and offices scattered across the country. Yup, makes total sense to deny medical wfh accommodations to someone on the east coast that works with the California team. GREAT culture making that person drive in and sit in a heinous open floorplan just to be on zoom with California or Texas all day. Good job, ally. I am so incredibly disappointed with the direction that ally has taken because it used to be a decent place to work. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. I guess that's one good thing that's come out of their hiring freeze. Less unsuspecting job hunters get lured into this disaster of a company.
