Advice to Management

Though balance of accomplishing tasks with how that is done is important and critical to long-term success, don't let "getting along" obstruct "getting it done"

Pros

Work from home or in office options, compensation must negotiate in the beginning, interview process was easy.

Cons

Training is still a work in progress but getting better. WFH options is new but opportunities for growth are currently lateral moves.

Pros

Friendly managers. Talented and competent teams.

Cons

Pay is not competitive, fake culture, no work from home options. I am not sure why there are so many positive reviews in here saying Ally is flexible and offers work from home because that isn't correct. There may be some work from home options for a small percent of auto workers, but non at all in banking, especially for CC&E. I have a position where I work mostly alone all day. None of my team is at my site. I will still be in zoom meeting with people in other locations all day. 90% of my work is behind the scenes and done completely alone. They are still making me come back to a building and lose and personal time 5 days a week. There goes my balanced personal life and pretty much all of my job satisfaction. I have started looking at other jobs immediately. If you are interviewing with Ally, realize they are completely intolerant towards working from home AT ALL. Very outdated environment and expectations.

Pros

Relatively easy job. Follow the rules and laws learned during training. Do your job the way it is expected. You will do well. Room for advancement within the company, work from home available, bonuses based off your performance.

Cons

Dealing with rude, disrespectful clients. Being in teams that don’t work well together to meet the team goals. Moves happen monthly sometime, never constant.
