Pros

Regular work hours, OT is discouraged

Cons

Hostile work environment along with varying degrees of harassment go unchecked (gender, sexual, racial) Lack of anti-nepotism policy/enforcement with rampant favoritism and a complete disregard for policy / regulations occurring at the highest level of the organization. Poor / disconnected / untrained and uninformed upper management. Non-functional Human Resources roles do not allow for support or visibility into ongoing risk for legal exposure, much less have an impact on employee moral and retention. Poor compensation package, some semi-skilled technical roles pay less than a fast food employer. Lack of training and advancement opportunities for highly productive and performing individuals

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.
