Pros

They do pay yearly bonuses.

Cons

Lousy "low trust" work environment; rude, unqualified and under-educated management; micromanagement of all staff. If you like being treated like a 12 year old, then Navy Federal is the place for you! An example of a recent email (April 2013) from first-line management to senior technical staff... "All employees seen with your shirttail hanging out will be sent home." If you have a graduate degree, or even a bachelor's degree, Navy Federal is NOT the place for you. You will be overqualified, and they will NOT respect you or your education. Technical IT staff are often required to work at 4:00 AM, two sometimes three times a week, for unending MONTHS. You are on-call "24x7". There is NO corporate work-from-home policy. Permission to work from home is doled out by managers who love being "the boss man" instead of caring anything about their people.

Pros

Great work-life balance. Great benefits- 7% 401K match, 3% pension, $1K HSA match. 4 weeks vacation and 2 weeks sick leave. Discounted rate on mortgage or auto loan. Company really values tenure and employee retention. Hybrid schedule with 3 times a week for people leaders, 2 times a week for individual contributors.

Cons

Ver relationship-based. If you can't network, you likely won't have much upward mobility. Can be bureaucratic depending on your leadership.

Pros

Pay can be decent at times Met some great people

Cons

Processors are the garbage can of the entire loan process. We literally are help to such insane standards with no support. Apparently it’s been this way for years and even high ranking supervisors say they feel like they’re talking to a brick wall when they voice our frustrations. Since my time here that have been at least 2 employees that I’ve heard of that have either attempted jumping off our building or actually did jump off. Like how can you not implement change when people are so stressed that they are jumping off our buildings? If anyone is reading this and wondering how the stress gets that bad it’s because the better you do the more money you get but they keep raising the bar so when you’re use to that extra income and now you have to do so much more to get that extra income that you’re used to it can break a person down and higher ups know how bad we’re breaking down. It’s completely normal for a half hour workforce to go on mental health leave during the summer which is our busy season and still nothing is done. I haven’t even been here a full year. What is it going to take to actually implement a change?
