Pros

- Coworkers synergy and good team environment - Shop is clean and a large amount of tools are provided - Strong culture outside of direct management - Commission based employees have work - If you work Saturday, they buy lunch for you

Cons

- Wage gauging - Instead of raises, good employees get an ice cream every few months - Leadership has high blood pressure and anger management issues - No cost of living adjustments. Real income decreases year over year due to inflation - Management is permitted to call all-in for the end of the month regardless of scheduling. Employees are held unfairly accountable - No holiday or end of year bonuses - Very few holidays. Sick leave counts against already limited PTO days - Management's financial metrics are met through low hourly rates for technicians

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.
