      Pros

      Sallie Mae is still the number one provider of private student loans. As an employer, Sallie Mae provides competitive benefits and compensation packages.

      Cons

      Sallie Mae was once a fantastic place to work. However, Sallie Mae has experienced a lot of turnover in its senior management ranks over the last decade - mostly related to regulatory changes that eliminated the private sector role in federal student loans. Sallie Mae should have worked harder to retain and/or recruit leaders with education finance backgrounds rather than hire banking professionals with zero student loan experience in order to help them avoid past mistakes. Personal/work life balance is not great. Loyalty is expected but not reciprocated.
