"Very nice company to work for"

"My experience with the company was less than moderate due to the lack of feedback as needed for career development for potential advancement. The work relationships with colleagues was very supportive however in these endeavors."

"I have worked for Ally Financial / GMAC since 1982 and have held several positions within the company over a 37-year career. Though I started as a Field Collector, I was later placed on an accelerated program and spent 3 years as an underwriter. I was briefly over a collection team and then as a result of my presentation skills was transferred into Sales as a Leasing Coordinator. I also became AFIP Certified during this period of time. After 5 years of trying dealership personnel on the benefits, I was then placed into the role of a Wholesale Analyst for 15 months. Upon completion of this, I spent another 14 months of underwriting retail contracts again. I was then reassigned back into Sales as an Area Financial Services Manager, in this position, I collaborated with GM Division personnel to improve processes in the dealership F&I (Finance & Insurance) departments, meeting and achieving organizational goals, built retail and wholesale relationships with numerous GM dealers assisting them with mitigating costs while improving profitability, cut dealership costs with reduced insurance rates, evaluating impacted dealership activities to yield additional customer savings. I was then assigned back into the office as a Collection Manager. I Oversaw various collection teams that were specialized in working with difficult / skip customers as well as customers who were relatively new and already having difficulty making their payments and were in a negative equity position. These teams were tasked with locating missing customers as well as finding ways to keep those customers who were new and already in trouble from returning their vehicles allowing the company to avoid a loss. Recruited, trained, and mentored 30 local collectors to establish a call center for delinquent automotive accounts’ collection services in the South Texas/Louisiana area. I then transferred into Loss Mitigation as a Manager over two different departments over 7.5 years."
