Growing too fast

Pros

Great wages and the new HQ office has a Big 4 atmosphere.

Cons

Leadership is growing firm too fast and workload overwhelming. Leadership overwhelmed with work due to staff shortages. Leadership may say the door is open to chat anytime but their actions state otherwise.

Genuine Care for Members and Employees

Pros

PenFed is constantly striving to make every member experience a great one. Management truly cares about members and genuinely wants to provide them the best products, rates, and service. Most employees "stay forever" and the corporate culture is very family-oriented. PenFed is a great place to work!

Cons

PenFed is growing fast and has ambitious goals. If you prefer a slow pace, want a job that doesn't change, or do not want to be part of building bigger, better, smarter teams and programs, PenFed is probably not ideal for you.

Pros

Very casual work environment. Growth oriented strategy with coaching provided. Many long term, dedicated employees. Great location near Old Town, Alexandria. Free parking.

Cons

Great CEO, but horrible senior management. They are chasing away their good employees. No system of evaluation for managers exists except a ridiculous system called Survivor Island where Executives discuss managers who never receive feedback. Pathetic.
