Current Employee – been working at Ally Financial

Pros – Even though I've only been aboard a short time, I'm impressed with the individuals I work with. The hours and benefits seem better than with other companies of similar size. New hires receive 27 days off between PTO and Holidays, which is rather generous given the turmoil with the business. Now that the GMAC is a bank holding company, I believe there's a tremendous opportunity in the future both near and long term

Cons – Not sure yet; have not been there long enough to know

Advice to Senior Management – None
