Pros

SallieMae is one of the rare companies left that promote from within, allowing a person to really grow professionally. The people I worked with and for were great. The wages were very competitive for the area, and the CEO frequently held meetings to keep everyone informed on how the company was doing.

Cons

Working in the student loan industry can be very stressful. During peak season, long hours are required taking time away from your family and making it difficult to attain a higher level of education.

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.
