Pros

Nice facility. You can have plenty of opportunities to move up because people are exiting quickly. They spend money stupid things that don't help you make money like nobody's business, but when it comes things like marketing there's nothing in the budget for that. If you are a productive employee, you have everything you need to succeed, just don't take a promotion.

Cons

Like much of the auto industry long hours, 60hrs a week is not uncommon. When you are promoted don't expect any increase in salary, they want to dangle a title rather than reward you with a carrot for your efforts. The budgets for managers departments are always unrealistic, and your salary is adjusted every year when you don't hit it. You are forced to use race car sponsors products, if there is anything else that might be cheaper, better or easier it's off limits.

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.
