      Pros

      The company is Delaware Centric, has a great mission to provide student loans, good future growth. Immense amount of change has occurred over the last five years but things should start to steady.

      Cons

      Limited opportunity unless you move to Delaware. The company demands a lot and will require extra hours particularly in the product development, delivery and IT areas of the company.

      Micromanaged and inexperienced managers

      Pros

      Worked with a lot of great people and the company does seem to promote a great deal from within.

      Cons

      Sallie Mae has two time management systems and employees had to clock in & out every time we left their desks. One time management system was for payroll and the other was to measure productivity. Personally, I felt micromanaged and unappreciated. Also, Loan Servicing Dept had a young amateurish female management team that were catty and played favorites. The trainers in particular were unprofessional.
