Pros

Caring and team environment. Many great people. Exciting growth opportunities. Once in a lifetime CEO who makes it his personal business to travel all over talking to all the employees a couple times a year and actually takes action from what he hears. We love it when he comes to our town and spends real time with us.

Cons

I'm sad to see the negative reviews that are really about one person. That's not PenFed. There are hundreds of great employees and leaders and execs who care and run the company with the members and employees first. It is a stressful environment. That's because there is so much to do. Most of the employees I know are excited to be part of it. Not everyone can handle the fast pace very well so don't come here if you don't want to work hard. But one exec with poor management style can cause a lot of problems - a lot of fear and anger in their area. Lots of crying. People feel bad.

Pros

Paid leave and sick leave, good employees, free food every now and then. Great personal finance learning experience if nothing else.

Cons

Big disconnect between corporate and the call centers. Promotions are getting harder and harder to come by( Minimum 12 months in position plus a slew of other criteria must be met before you can apply to promote). Work every holiday except Christmas and Thanksgiving.
