What is the company and culture like there?
I love ally. I'm just a account holder though.
It really matters - Detroit, or Charlotte uptown / Rexford. Detroit is generally good about 9-7 on the extreme ends because the auto influence (every group is at least some different). Charlotte - give up your life to it (again depends on the unit.) but you can get rewarded in CLT. Detroit it’s harder to stand out.
Give up your life to it!?! What group are you in? You may need to find another area! Not my experience and I've been at Ally over 4 years and worked with people uptown (mostly) and rexford and ballantyne
IT supporting analytics. (Not sustain) It super varies on the unit. Ours (and our business partners) are often there till 7 then working in either the Mellow or Ivy or elsewhere. 10pm to 1am email threads, weekend threads, and everyone in the group knows the AC turns off around 830p because they’ve experienced it. I know a lot of units are different, but generally I see a lot church street teams doing 7pm meetings, 11pm status update texts and more.
I would say it really depends on what location and also the division/group. The culture is great and not like the other Banks! Focus on family and the individual and not just the work. Good people who work hard and play hard
Working in Detroit is not too bad, really comes down to your job title and function.
It all depends on where you are located and what group you are in and who is your executive leadership. What is promoted via culture and reality is as far as East is from west. The kids are running the classroom directors and managers are powerless to make decisions. Code of conduct is only for deterrent reasons but management is powerless to use it when needed. The underlying message is my god don’t do anything because we want high scores on engagement survey from associate. We want to be best place to work. Funny communication is a hot topic right now but here is the big picture there are two threads of communication one for the outside look how great we are and how wonderful everything is and then the second line of communication where there is confusion lack of clarity and where near nothing is similar to the culture propaganda that is presented. This past year I started to drink the loo laid actually believed in the culture wow my expectations were so crushed because it is a house of cards. I know I sound bitter and I am such a company minded individual whose personal return on my investment into my job came up very short.
Few teams I know are definitely shitty with spineless, non technical managers who are mere puppets in the hands of cognizant contractors.I have seen great talent run away never looking back.

Tipping culture is really getting out of control! Waiter gave me ‘a look’ because I tipped her 10% for ‘BAD service!’

I wish I were East Asian instead of Vietnamese (Southeast Asian)
