Pros

To be honest, I was excited to start a position with Sallie Mae. Their onboarding process, however, is absolutely worthless. My first week was atrocious. IT is either incompetent or doesn’t care. My boss was in no way prepared for my arrival and still hasn’t provided me with any legit direction or guidance. I came to work, not sit around.

Cons

The building is just one quiet empty floor after another, except the call center one.
