Pros

Sallie Mae offers a great work environment with lots of great people. People are the best part of Sallie Mae as we all try to provide the best service internally and externally to our customers. People come and go to the company and, regarding those that leave, the grass is not always greener elsewhere and some would like to come back. The company is constantly adjusting course to move in the most productive direction for our customers and investors. We promote responsibility to our student borrowers with a 1-2-3 approach: free money, government money, then private money.

Cons

The regulatory risk is the overarching con to this company or industry in general. It is in the news a lot lately. Sallie Mae appears to run a lean IT shop by controlling expenses.

Pros

Sallie Mae is a company that truly appreciates hard work and recognizes employees for their contributions. They also understand the importance of family and are willing to work with employees when life circumstances require additional support. It is a place where dedication is valued and employees are treated with care and respect.

Cons

While Sallie Mae offers strong recognition programs, benefits, and support for employees and their families, like any organization there are opportunities to continue improving communication, employee feedback channels, and consistency in the employee experience. Overall, the company demonstrates a commitment to listening to employee feedback and making improvements over time.
