Pros

Overall, a positive place to work with a supportive team and strong collaboration across departments. There are opportunities to take on new challenges, build skills, and contribute to meaningful business initiatives. Leadership is generally accessible, and there’s a clear focus on driving results while maintaining a team oriented culture. Flexibility and work life balance are also a major plus!

Cons

Like many places, priorities can shift quickly, which can make it challenging to balance workload at times. Communication and alignment across teams can vary, and processes aren’t always as streamlined as they could be. There are opportunities to continue improving consistency and clarity, especially as Sallie Mae grows.
