Pros

Initially I thought it would be a Classier honest automotive sales experience of a quality product I believed in. But NOT. It's the same old game in somewhat nicer clothes. They find every way to minimize the deal so the pay is low for the time and work investment . Same old Rip off the customer and the trade and then make wholesale $$ at the auction on th trade (and therefore rip off the Salespersons legitimate profit/ Commission) required working weekends, holidays, daily 8 pm close and mandatory monthly "events" to all hours. You better plan to come in on your day off if you have anything even slightly working or it will be re-assigned to a favorite even if you have appt. set for your next day on. Horrible Sales Managers with sexist (read between the lines) agendas and favorites. Feeding deals to favorites. Horrible negative energy. Brain damage place to work. It was a long process to get on board this supposedly "Elite" auto retailer . Wish I had never bothered.

Cons

As above, plus not a good benefit plan, marginal commission and endless payplan changes/cuts.

Pros

Luxurious facilities, great coworkers if you stay long enough. Top notch equipment.

Cons

Lack of family / work balance, work all the time mentality for close to fast food employee pay when.you calculate how many hours you've spent there. On the latest employee survey over 47% of employees indicated that they were looking for another job. Within weeks, company has lost valuable salespeople, service advisors and technicians. Morale is low, loads of talented people will leave, many regret leaving their old jobs and moving to Penske.
