Pros

Big company, well-known brands, wide presence. They offer benefits but their package will cost you as you tend to pay the bulk of the monthly premiums. Office culture is relaxed but can get stressful when bad sales days happen.

Cons

Little to no opportunity for advancement. They keep you at a dealership and don't let you move to other automotive lines. They keep on changing the pay plan to cut your salary.

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.
