Pros

I'm being perfectly honest .. not much.. decent cafeteria

Cons

Poor back office management, advancement comes from popular vote, not by tenure. In fact, your co-workers and management will be so nosy that they will start to pry into your personal life and then judge you. In addition, they will walk around with conceit on how much better they are than everyone else, at least the " norm" not everyone, or the call center.

Pros

The work culture is quite chill and results-focused. The office space is also quite decent.

Cons

Being a bank, it’s highly regulated so everything we do must go through a thorough compliance review.

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.
