Pros

Great salary and benefits. Pretty good people for the most part. Telecommuting is a real plus but not well managed.

Cons

Poor, poor Company management. Penny wise and dollar foolish. Just look at FDR. They don't follow their own values. If the shareholders were aware of the money wasted they would vote out the entire board. And the CEO should have retired when he blew the FLOWERS DEAL.

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.
