Pros

Can't think of any that make it worth it.

Cons

They shove fake culture down your throat while being stuffy and completely inflexible to change and adaptation. They want you to give 200% but refuse to compromise or offer the employee the benefits they truly need. You are expected to work long hours, do the work of 2 people, work on endless projects etc... all for low pay and being forced into office. On top of having all this work, you have to spend hours a day dressing like a corporate zombie and commuting into office. Ally does not respect or trust us at all. They do not care about your health. They do not care about you. They do not care about your work life balance. No benefit to being in office but we are going back in office 5 days a week soon. They see the extremely high turnover of top talent due to this and they still double down, lie to us, and pretend everything is alright and everyone is happy. We need a new CEO and president who listens to the workers and cares about us instead of catering to the stockholders. This company is not for the employees at all. Typical greedy corporate environment.

Pros

You get a bi-weekly paycheck.

Cons

The culture has tanked under new leadership over the last couple of years. It’s cutthroat, senior management keeps swapping out experienced leaders for their own people, same values, same bottom line only mindset. No one actually knows what they’re doing because everyone’s expected to do everything and own the fallout when it doesn’t work. Decisions get micromanaged or made behind closed doors about your own team, with no input. There’s constant pressure to cut expenses, and the target seems to double every month, at this rate it feels like the end is inevitable. Layoffs happen a few times a year now, two years running, and leadership straight up tells you it’s the new norm, so get used to it. Everyone knows it, everyone talks about it, and everyone’s living in fear. On top of that, you’re expected to work 12 hour days and answer emails on weekends, then get told you’re still not doing enough. It’s demoralizing. This is an awful place to work, and with the job market this bad, people can’t leave even though everyone’s looking. Feels like a sinking ship, and they deserve it for how they treat people.
