TYSONS, Va., Nov. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — PenFed Credit Union, the nation’s second-largest federal credit union, today announced for the fifth year in a row it was selected by the Military Times as a “Best for Vets” employer of 2023. The editorially driven Best for Vets program produces a highly respected analysis of a company’s efforts to recruit, retain, and support current and former service members, military spouses and military caregivers.
“PenFed is proud to have our commitment to the military community once again recognized by the Military Times,” said PenFed President/CEO and PenFed Foundation CEO James Schenck. “We will continue to select individuals with the skills, experience, leadership and passion for service that veterans, caregivers and military spouses bring to the workplace.”
As part of an ongoing commitment to hiring and supporting the military community, PenFed operates a Military Employment Program focused on every phase of the employment lifecycle for all members of the military community – including veterans, military and spouses, wounded warriors and their caregivers, Reservists and National Guardsmen.
PenFed collaborates with military employment organizations to enhance military employment efforts. Members of the military community interested in a career with a military-friendly company are encouraged to visit PenFed’s Military Recruiting Webpage.

PenFed has a strong legacy of being a military-friendly company and donates up to 2% of its annual net income to charitable organizations, with the majority going to military charities.
