Pros

Sallie Mae really cares about employee well being. They offer good work/life balance as well as tuition reimbursement and a free onsite gym and an ala cart cafeteria.

Cons

The work at Sallie Mae, as well as other comparable companies in the lending business, tends to be boring and monotonous.

Pros

Medical benefits are ok, free on-site flu shot, nice cafe. Sallie Mae offers tuition reimbursement. Location is close to I-95, easy commute

Cons

Sallie Mae was a great place to work. 3 years ago top management was taken over by ex-MBNA employees. That was the beginning of the end. Sallie Mae is no longer a place that values hard working employees. Constant talk to cost cutting, but you will see cubicles installed and employees moved in, then 3 months later all the employees will be moved, a crew comes in and tears down the cubicles and installs them again in a different formation. This cycle repeats over and over again.

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.
