Pros

Really great American company to work for.

Cons

Some downsides are that the people who tend to try avoiding work most nights get away with it. They seem to never be held personally responsible for their lack of work ethic, so they end up making our entire team's numbers look bad. I just wish they would be repremanded privately instead of the whole group being made to listen to negative toned meetings about a problem caused by a hand full of people. Pay could be higher considering what other companies offer but I've heard Penske is working on that issue, better pay incentivises workers to work that much harder to keep their job.

Pros

- If you miss High School - the Remarketing Department is for you! - The pay is good, 15 days PTO and sick-time that gets paid out annually if you don't use it - Plenty of raining opportunities - The cafe at the corporate office is awesome, Site 2 (Bernville Rd building) sucks - There are a couple great people scattered throughout different departments

Cons

- DO NOT TRUST ANYONE, especially HR and your manager(s) everything you say to HR they WILL use against you - Management picks favorites and if you're not in the clique, you're not getting any advancements in your career - ZERO support from management. Total dog eat dog world, mgmt pretends to have your back and support your career and they climb right on top of you and take credit for all of your work - Everyone is in each other's business 24/7 in and outside of work. Spreading rumors, investigating your life. Super childish stuff. - If your department is a money making department, like Remarketing, as long as the dept is making money, you as an employee will never matter, nothing else matters to upper mgmt but the money - Penske loves to pretend like there's SO much opportunity to get promoted from within... totally false. You are only given opportunities if you brown nose and snitch on other people that confide in you (was told that directly by a Director) - Penske only cares about you as an employee once you've been there for 10+ years, anyone who's only been there for a few years doesn't matter, no matter how hard you work or what advancements you make in your position - Super high turnover rate in Remarketing, mainly due to the pettiness of management and the constant drama you always have to deal with
