- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Great benefits and great resources to learn your job.
Cons
Pay isn’t the best. Doing job of a supervisor and no title change. Better new hire training
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
The company seems to greatly value its people. I'm a relatively new hire, but there already seem to be a lot of opportunities for upward mobility. PenFed has been on an incredible growth trajectory, and that's evident in how quickly the organization is growing. The people have been very welcoming and kind, which makes a huge difference in an organization. The company values work life balance - as a full time employee, the full work week is 37.5 hours instead of 40.
Cons
The company has a lot of room for improvement on establishing processes and procedures. Team seem siloed and more or less do their own thing without following a set company standard.

- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros

Cons
PenFed has made major strides in standardizing operations across all business units. Like any major company change communication can sometimes be challenging

Thank you so much! We are always evolving and working towards continued excellence! Your feedback is so valuable.
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Does a good job fulfilling its mission and serving clients.
Cons
Current leadership is very good, but change is occurring and the credit union is expanding which has some challenges. This is may not be a con but does include some growing pains.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
The only good thing is you get paid. Not paid well, just paid.
Cons
Hands down the worst company I have ever encountered. It is so poorly run by upper management, I can’t even begin to stress the incompetent actions of management. The group of people in charge of lending are the most arrogant but ignorant people in the industry. They have no intentions of bringing anyone who is not a crony into any management role. Because of this, average employees are forced to suffer. God forbids they hire someone with talent and insight. Those in Tysons and management in Omaha are especially lacking in both professionalism and talent. There is no place to go but down in this corporation. If you wish to get ahead or even have a tiny bit of respect for yourself it’s best to stay away.
