Pros

It seems like Roger Penske cares about keeping employees happy and with The company. If you work hard and make the company lots of money the rest is easy. Overall it's one of those typical corporate places that give you free lunch or dinner often. Everyone is mostly nice to your face. Lots of laughs Typical benefits other large corporate companies offer.

Cons

Relatively low pay for sales and service consultants but it's a more fun place than some other automotive companies. Employees are able to steal from each other's desks and purses or wallets and hack employees' cell phones. I heard in 1 case the assistant service manager even knew about cell phone hacking and thought it was funny so did nothing but help cover it up. Departments hide as much as possible from corporate. Winning by any means necessary is rewarded & encouraged even if it means hurting coworkers & stealing their customers & breaking company policies.

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.
