Pros

PenFed is a wonderful company, from the top down. Managers are supportive and knowledgeable, peers are happy to assist, and senior management listens and leads. It is a highly informed team across the board. Questions are encouraged. Work is focused on "value-add" and less on "check the box" activities. I highly recommend PenFed to anyone looking for a rewarding career. It's a fantastic company that focuses on meaningful work and understands that importance of work-life balance.

Cons

Not a con per se, but the teams are very slim compared to other financial institutions.

Pros

Awesome place and people - complex and large finance operation and balance sheet yet still small enough to make an impact and build up solutions from the ground floor - creative place!

Cons

Sometimes can be stretched for more resources

Pros

Great staff and middle management. Good benefits and facilities.

Cons

Upper Management - same tune as all the other reviews. This place is full of great people who don't know they are great. It's also full of bad leaders who think they are great. Unfortunately, the best performers are often rewarded with carrying the burden of underperformers and non-contributing leaders. In certain teams there is very limited in upward mobility. They are slow to weed out low performers and ineffective managers. All in, strong performers and high achievers might find this place frustrating. This is a place for those who like to coast through.
