Sallie Mae reviews

Good PTO policy - but could be better, and there is no formal comp time policy for exempt employees. If you don´t mind being on call 24/7 and working 60+ hours a week it´s not a bad place to work. Some divisions have different policies, and so this review may not pertain to all divisions. There used to be a strong focus on training, and setting firm career path goals and achievements, and this still exists in some places. I would strongly recommend you talk about the opportunities and career path options before you accept a position. Management staff are generally respectful, although budget cuts have forced some divisions to do more with less, and so the work load and stress levels have went up.

As long as the work is getting done and deadlines are being met - I have found that my schedule is VERY flexible. I have found most people to be very friendly and helpful. I have also found that most people are not trying to claw their way thru you to better themselves. In the past, the company has been very employee focused by having special celebration days, team building activities and offering extra days off (Dec 26th is a holiday this year). These are not huge gestures like tons of stock or extra money but the little things can mean a lot - especially in this crazy economy.
