Pros

You cannot get fired unless you commit an HR violation. If you ever worry about getting fired, make an HR complaint. Penske will be too afraid to do anything after that.

Cons

No matter what you do, it’s never going to be good enough. They set lots and lots of goals.... When you reach them, they will never say, “good job.” They will only ask, “why not better.” I’m all for always striving to do better, but constantly being told, “it’s not good enough” will wear on anyone. Also, if you work for Penske and leave for whatever reason you are now black balled from working at any Penske dealer...ever. They do not care about employees. The focus is on shareholders.

Pros

It's a good environment for making connections with other people in the business. The staff here genuinely care for you!

Cons

Have to do more of what's asked of you than what is on the job description

Pros

I do not have any pros for Penske.

Cons

Their HR department does not hold their managers accountable for the abuse they are causing onto their employees. Being told to "remember to clock out" for lunch because we always have to work through our lunches is so small compared to all the other issues that occur in Penske. HR chooses not do anything to help their employees when they report something. They realistically do not care whatsoever that extreme misconduct occurs. They also don't ever care to explain the benefits that may be necessary for work/life stress balance except for one quick second at Power Up. HR does not tell you anything to set you up for success.
