Pros

- The pay is really good for the experience you bring to the company. They gave me what I asked for no haggling. - They have pretty good benefits. - The people so far have been pleasant to work with and are very helpful. - The training was really good. - They have lots of opportunities for growth. I would recommend this company as a great place to work.

Cons

- I am not looking at this as a Con but an improvement. I would like to see better benefits. What they have is actually is comparable to other small companies. - Another opportunity for improvement is modern computer systems. I know they are expensive but, it is the wave of the future.

Pros

There are so many pros to working at Penn Mutual. Flexibility is something that is unique to the company and creates the perfect work-life balance as I'm able to work from home. Additionally, the benefit offerings are unlike anything I've seen. There is a phenomenal reimbursement program for professional development, on top of other competitive offerings that support a healthy lifestyle. Time off is very generous and also adds to the environment of flexibility and overall respect for people and their lives. The company takes the time and investment to develop its employees and there are many growth opportunities here. The people that I work with are also so kind, caring and respectful. It makes it easy to work with anyone, regardless of team, and there is a clear strategic vision of where the company is headed and what priorities we are working towards. It's also nice to be recognized by colleagues through the recognition program. It's been so great to work here and feel my contributions matter, no matter my role.

Cons

There are no cons that I can think of.

Pros

Penn Mutual stands out as one of the best companies I've ever worked for, especially for those seeking a fully remote environment without sacrificing collaboration, leadership access, or career progression. Truly Remote: The company has mastered the art of remote work. I feel connected, supported, and empowered from wherever I work. Culture-First: The culture is genuine, people-focused, and driven by shared values. There's a deep sense of purpose and respect across teams. Leadership: Senior leaders are visible, approachable, and transparent. You see real integrity and long-term thinking in every decision. Strong Performance: Year after year, Penn Mutual delivers strong financial results, which creates a sense of security and pride in being part of the company. Great People: Talented, kind, and collaborative teammates at all levels. No ego, just a shared desire to do great work together.

Cons

Honestly, none that stand out. Like any company, there are challenges, but the leadership team is proactive and genuinely listens.
