Pros

*Some departments are wonderful and friendly *Encouraged to be apart of the community in some departments *Encouraged to grow skills in some departments *Flexibility in some departments *Free parking uptown

Cons

*Managers don't receive training on how to manage even if they have never managed. Even if you go to the HRBP its unlikely something will be done. *The Risk ORM department is incredibly cold and unfriendly *The Risk ORM department does not allow you to grow new skills or be a part of the ERG's. They are above being involved with the Ally Culture. *Don't always receive job training and then are criticized for not getting it fast enough. *The Ally Culture is not shared by all departments *Pay is on the low end of the scale

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.
