      Pros

      Back when the industry was good and we held great employees, it was an awesome place to work, but past 2-3 yrs the company has gone down hill. The company still holds some great people to work with depending on the area you land in.

      Cons

      Downsized considerable and rather than trying to retain valuable employees by moving them into other positions they were let go. Management is poor at communicating what is expected of their employees or where the company is headed. If you work there at the present, expect to be overworked, untrained, and stressed.

      Pros

      Flexibility in time off was very nice. The pay i felt was competetive with other companies. Many opportuntites for advancement. Benefits were great.

      Cons

      Some managers in departments i felt were not manager material. They seemed to play favorites to their friends by sending the smaller easier projects to them.

      Pros

      Fair to above average pay. New products that have been introdued into the market place have considerable upside (Smart Option Student, Credit Card and Bank products). Stock Options for all level of employees.

      Cons

      SLM has been cutting expenses (people and sites) aggressively the last 3 years. While it is a necessity for the future, it makes it an uncertain place to work. Very little Leadership and and Management Development for mid level management. There is some favortism for ex MBNA/Bank of America Leadership that joined company 2 -3 years ago
