Pros

Great employees who are willing to go the extra mile

Cons

Lack of support and resources, even when justifiably advocated for, are never listened to nor taken action upon/followed up by senior leadership. Everything is “wing it” with no care for structure, quality/proper training, skill development, not even HE training for supervisors too.

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

To build full context, I am not a person that looks to jump from employer to employer. My intent was to find an organization that seeks to balance internal promotion while still bringing in fresh ideas from outside the organization. Though seemingly simple, that balance has been rare throughout my career. Most organizations seem to rely on either side of the scale, often with detrimental consequences to those that remain within the organization. I have been very happy with my work environment at PenFed. Throughout my time with the organization, I’ve seen consistent opportunities for growth and advancement, and leadership genuinely encourages employees to develop their skills and careers. PenFed continues to invest in creating a culture that supports employee growth while maintaining a collaborative and friendly atmosphere. The people are supportive, the work is meaningful, and the organization values both professional development and teamwork. Overall, it’s a great place to build a long‑term career.

Cons

Not a lot to add here, but that is not intended to state that the universe remains sunshine and rainbows. Every growing organization has faults, and those exist within PenFed too. However, my intent in the statement above is to say that the common issues, seen among all organizations, do not create enough of a distraction to the positives.
