How is WLB at Synchrony?

Want some insight into this. I’ve read conflicting things on here and other sites. Would be an AVP - Analytics for TJX. Thanks

Business side or IT side? Depends on your team most often. The job is all remote if you choose that route so that’s a benefit the only stipulation is as long as your within a day of travel to a hub office. Everyone has Friday afternoon’s off to spend with family if you don’t have anything critical to work on. (Think Summer Friday’s but permanent) Friday mornings is also are a dedicated self-development and training day and there shouldn’t be any calls/meetings happening unless they are mission critical. As far as TJX team I can’t speak to it since I’m not in that dept./team. Could you tell me about some of the conflicting things you’re seeing? I know some folks around and can check in. Feel free to DM. Im an AVP as well just for your knowledge.

Thanks for getting back to me. The role is for avp In analytics for not sure. So guessing more towards it/analytics. I’ve seen people post about how Friday is as you explained but this makes people work longer other days. I also saw someone post that wlb is good if you are in a CoE, center of excellence. Not sure what that means but someone else posted if you’re on a partner team it’s brutal. I’m guessing that TJX is a partner team. If I make the switch if offered looking for better wlb. Are you an avp in analytics?

I’m also an AVP in analytics and I think it’s pretty team based. From what I’ve seen throughout my time here, WLB is pretty good, especially with the half day Fridays. It might be different if you’re on a partner team and the partner is demanding but I haven’t seen anyone who seemed overworked

Can you share your TC as an AVP?

AVP/VPs in SYF are dime a dozen. Good place if you are mediocre or slightly above average. If you have ambition, it's not a place to be. and alot depends on Team and department like others said.
