Ally Financial

Excellent pay levels when you join the team.

Really good benefits at an affordable price.

Working with some of the best talent in Charlotte.

Collaborative eCommerce culture.

Don't expect a raise. Raises are far and few between, and bonuses only happen if you fight for them.

Benefits costs continue to rise each year, but that's pretty standard.

Really great people are being pushed to the breaking point. If you like having a work-life balance, this is not for you.

The culture is only surface-deep. The majority of the company really doesn't understand what it means to be a digital organization.

Focus on keeping the staff you have engaged. When I say engaged, I don't mean pile more work on. I mean actually spending time trying to keep the talent you have/had.

The way to ensure you get great new talent is to keep the existing talent you already have. If you don't, don't be surprised when you end up with lower productivity and higher costs on everything you do.
