Pros

The people! Penfed is the most diverse place I've ever worked for. They help you get through the tough days.

Cons

The disrespect in this place was horrible! It was like a scene out of" Matilda". There were people crying during work hours and stressed from the verbal abuse that was dished out almost daily from the Penfed Trunchbull. The level of self doubt and disgust my collages and I felt was high for a company that says they "care" about their employees. Those who screwed up were promoted to a director level (which for some reason doesn't require a college degree) or kept as an employee because why not?! There were two ways a person could get fired 1)they literally grabbed someone by the...well you know...or 2) Penfed pushes you out by making your work life hell.

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.
