      More toxic than a nuclear waste! - IT Management PENFED Credit Union Employee Review

      Pros

      The best part was the people that are trying to keep this place afloat. There’s a certain level of camaraderie. I suppose you bond in the presence of extreme adversity.

      Cons

      I can speak for the IT side only. Senior leadership says “culture eats strategy for breakfast” - they need to assess themselves to see why the culture is so and the employee morale is nonexistent. People are worked to death with little to no appreciation. People are leaving in droves because leadership doesn’t have EQ. PenFed IT is one dysfunctional ‘family.’

      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.
