Pros

Working for the penske automotive industry was an exciting new learning experience. Learning about the car industry and being apart of such a large company in a growing field.

Cons

While penske is a decent company to work for, getting proper management seems to be a challenge, as well as keeping stores fully staffed. In an ever growing industry such as the automotive industry, the need for updated ways to enhance a customers experience is constantly over looked. Dealerships are always seen as selling cars, while service is seen as a dread to deal with. Service is what keeps the business growing, but is left behind each year. Never having the budget to get updated systems to make service advisors, techs, and managers lives easier at work. A simple update in printers, or a system to quickly check in cars and check service history would help alot, but are always denied. While the sales team gets new work phones, printers for finance, and better systems to manage the sales side. Penske fails the service department in many ways.

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.
