Reviews about "management"
Return to all Reviews- 5.0Jul 2, 2019Credit Card SpecialistCurrent Employee, less than 1 yearAlbuquerque, NM
Pros
The atmophere and culture is comforting. Upper management keeps us all informed of how we are doing indivdually and as a company in gerneral. We have a open door policy. The compensation is very competitive. My job here at Alliance Data is a fun place to work, I learn here everyday and there is never a dull moment!
Cons
Alliance Data, like some most major companies are always changing something, it is always for the good of our future, the only thing constant with Alliance Data is change. And sometimes getting a shift that works for you can be challenging at first.

Pros
Work/life balance is generally respected here. Management doesn't frown on PTO or sick time. I've never seen a PTO request denied as long as I have been employed here. Management is very receptive to new ideas and unique insight. They value each associate's strengths and encourage creative thinking during problem solving activities. This is a very 'nice' culture. People are typically friendly. Senior management makes an effort to know the names and faces of their worker bees.
Cons
It seems very political in the office these days. Not sure if this is in response to the terrible economic climate we are facing or just the result of the new leadership appointments. Also, the saying, "Perception is Reality" is unfortunately very true here.

Pros
Initially was a great place to sork
Cons
IT management has gone thru a process to create scape goats for his mismanagement and ego. There is a yearly layoff cycle that has added to a very political climate. Budgets and timelines are created for projects to get approved then needed resources were withheld. Very bad relationship exists between IT Mgmt and other Corp departments. IT Mgmt does not communicate well to staff and current morale is very low.

Pros
Good hours, steady work, great cafeteria, you get your own desk
Cons
Management very strict and not consistent with daily operations. Always looking for ways to write employees up for termination, Don't feel secure with this job as people are fired almost daily.(revolving door company) Don't quit your current job for this one, as you might not have it very long.

Pros
Good tech stack. Nothing else.
Cons
No RSUs. No clear hiring guidelines. People that joined recently quit within a few months. Inexperienced management looking to just grow their org instead of doing what is right for the company. Company culture promotes awarding heroics.

Pros
Good people below VP level. The true heart of the company is at the Director and Manager level. Kudos to them.
Cons
Upper management is out of touch with the business. Middle management is stuck between understanding the vision and objectives and communicating those to subordinates.
