Pros

Base compensation was above market for job duties, probably a necessity to attract and retain people in recent years.

Cons

Immense red tape, in part due to receiving TARP funds, has led to indecisive leadership and poor communication from senior management. Incentives have not been paid anywhere near target in the past three years regardless of individual performance. GMAC doesn't provide the necessary resources to complete the required objectives and doesn't reward employees who pull together to get the job done anyway.

Pros

Compensation is competitive, loads of talent throughout Ally Bank, great corporate headquarters in downtown charlotte - with free parking and a free gym in the building.

Cons

Management makes literally every decision there is. From deciding what color an ad should be to what words should be on the ad. If you are an independent thinker who enjoys some autonomy with your work, BE WARNED. Management will tell you what to do, when to do it, what strategy you should have to do your work (that you were hired to be the expert on), and then pan you when you question their approach... even when they're wrong!
