Pros

The benefits package is decent. The office facilities are generally pretty decent too. Many of the offices have a cafeteria and or a fitness center.

Cons

There is little communication between management and subordinates. When changes are made that affect jobs, I feel that the managers do not keep employees fully apprised of information as it comes up.

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
