Pros

Ally really has given me the resources and tools to own and grow my career with amazing opportunities to develop and expand into different departments. I have had the opportunity to work through several departments and working hard to make my way into leadership. I have had very supportive leaders that have given me everything I’ve asked for in terms of help and encouraging me with my growth. A lot of the “con” comments that I read on the reviews mention that it is hard to move up without being friends with or knowing leadership and that they feel they are overlooked because of things like this. I think you will find most places will be like this though. If you have the work ethic, skill, and are good at your job and desire to move up, you should always be seeking to network and connect with leadership and other matrix partners. I believe that connecting with people is as important of a skill set as the job itself if you strive to be in a leadership and/or more challenging position. Skill and ability absolutely play into promotions/new opportunities, but so does connection. Over all I personally cannot speak enough positive words about this company.

Cons

Limited remote opportunities and departments that offer remote opportunities. This in turn limits the chance of potentially hiring the best candidates for some positions.

Pros

Great benefits and affordable healthcare Hires excellent talent Progressive and current on the bank side Visible female leadership representation Many ways to be involved through employee culture programs and speakers to quickly build an internal network Will help move internally if stagnated Low turnover Bonuses were reliable Took care of employees through pandemic Very nice new Charlotte building and new Detroit floors including fully outfitted gyms and rest areas like golf swings and cool chairs Offices are near places to walk for lunch or take a break Bank holidays and decent PTO that was respected if you prepare

Cons

Low-to-middle market compensation Culture changed post-pandemic and then with government pressures on DEI Lots of red tape with an expectation to move faster than employees can Layoffs started happening with CEO change, and it was odd that top performers were let go Only 3 POC represented in Board and Executive Leadership and twice as many men as women Perfectionism and performative culture Auto business is archaic Everyone has to work a lot and you hear horror stories about IT goes through There's an expectation that you should work some more after you get home. Penalized for not buyng into the koolaid, but also penalized if you do but not doing it frequently enough Low turnover prevents meaningful career & salary growth for many employees who have been there 10+ years Encourages openness and authenticity only to get met with barriers as soon as you do
