Pros

To build full context, I am not a person that looks to jump from employer to employer. My intent was to find an organization that seeks to balance internal promotion while still bringing in fresh ideas from outside the organization. Though seemingly simple, that balance has been rare throughout my career. Most organizations seem to rely on either side of the scale, often with detrimental consequences to those that remain within the organization. I have been very happy with my work environment at PenFed. Throughout my time with the organization, I’ve seen consistent opportunities for growth and advancement, and leadership genuinely encourages employees to develop their skills and careers. PenFed continues to invest in creating a culture that supports employee growth while maintaining a collaborative and friendly atmosphere. The people are supportive, the work is meaningful, and the organization values both professional development and teamwork. Overall, it’s a great place to build a long‑term career.

Cons

Not a lot to add here, but that is not intended to state that the universe remains sunshine and rainbows. Every growing organization has faults, and those exist within PenFed too. However, my intent in the statement above is to say that the common issues, seen among all organizations, do not create enough of a distraction to the positives.

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

The salary is a competitive.

Cons

Upper management put a lot of pressure to make goals. Manager is terrible , lack of communication, trying to write up for not meeting goals that are just inflated expectations. Do not know how to lead , just want to boss team around.I do not recommend this place . There is no Opportunity to move around as they do not like to hire within . Company promotes employees that do not deserve it.Top performance doesn’t matter.
