Pros

Medical benefits are ok, free on-site flu shot, nice cafe. Sallie Mae offers tuition reimbursement. Location is close to I-95, easy commute

Cons

Sallie Mae was a great place to work. 3 years ago top management was taken over by ex-MBNA employees. That was the beginning of the end. Sallie Mae is no longer a place that values hard working employees. Constant talk to cost cutting, but you will see cubicles installed and employees moved in, then 3 months later all the employees will be moved, a crew comes in and tears down the cubicles and installs them again in a different formation. This cycle repeats over and over again.

Pros

Sallie Mae is a company that truly appreciates hard work and recognizes employees for their contributions. They also understand the importance of family and are willing to work with employees when life circumstances require additional support. It is a place where dedication is valued and employees are treated with care and respect.

Cons

While Sallie Mae offers strong recognition programs, benefits, and support for employees and their families, like any organization there are opportunities to continue improving communication, employee feedback channels, and consistency in the employee experience. Overall, the company demonstrates a commitment to listening to employee feedback and making improvements over time.
