Pros

This is a soul sucking corporate job working for a sneaky, discriminating and unethical corporation.

Cons

Do not believe Ally's lies about being a diverse, inclusive, and employee focused company. Just read all these reviews to see the real picture. Only senior leaders praise Ally and that is because they are forced to. Ally has a long history of racial discrimination in their auto loan practices. They are also repeatedly sued for not properly notifying before repossessing and refusing bank services for DACA recipients. Their biggest shareholders and board should give you an insight into what a terrible company they are and how poorly they treat their employees. Vanguard 10% - History of cheating on taxes. The Vanguard Group is the largest shareholder in right-wing media conglomerate FOX News Corp. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC 5% - Fined for price fixing, endless lawsuits for racial and gender discriminations, predatory lending, and insider trading. Blackrock 5% - The largest financer of climate destroying industries, involved in advising governments, a sign of the excessive, unbalanced corporate power. Ally is no more trustworthy in their employment practices. They regularly discriminate against disabled people and military spouses. They do not want to be inclusive to all, they only want cookie cutter employees who are easy to control. Do not work here if you have a mind of your own. 7 of the 12 board of directors are old white men, with only 4 women, 1 person of color, and only one person under the age of 50. This overly controlling board does not come from a position of diversity and understanding, don't be fooled. Ally is not a productive environment for young workers and are in no way innovative.

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.
