Pros

Nice co-workers who make the time spent in PVS better.

Cons

Management up to CEO unfortunately lie and talk about people behind their backs. They do not appreciate their staff and are very condescending. COVID has been an excuse to get rid of older staff. They have not been forthcoming with communication to those laid off and are not paying out vacation for those they let go. From those affected, attorneys are going to get involved to resolve. Too bad Penske Vehicle Services is ruining the Penske name.
