Pros

None that come to mind

Cons

I’m warning you, do not take a job offer as a Management Trainee with Penske. You’ll regret it like I did. Upper management is a clique. They’ll act nice to your face but will talk about you behind your back. If one of them doesn’t like something about you or your personality, you’re gone. Promotions are based on how much they like you, don’t listen to their drivel about “promoting based on talent” As a Management Trainee you are constantly talked down to and treated poorly. Managers everywhere to micromanage the life out of you. There’s more managers than regular employees. It's very much like the movie Office Space with the TPS reports where you have 2 or 3 people telling you what you did wrong. If your manager is an inconsiderate, insulting bully like mine was and you bring your concerns to upper management, upper management will always side with your manager and you’ll be labeled a problem employee. I’m honestly trying to warn you to stay away from this company. They don't view their employees as human beings. In terms of corporate greed, they're just as bad as Amazon but with worse infrastructure. Everyone is overworked, miserable and two-faced. If you’re less than 3 years out of college and looking for a Trainee Program, try Enterprise Rent a Car or Core & Main. They’re much better than this garbage. All in all, I would never recommend anyone with an ounce of self respect to endure the punishment of employment at this company and I would rather work at McDonalds or drive for Uber than ever come back here.

Pros

Now two days are ever the same.

Cons

Micromanagement, Lack of recognition, Never able to do a good enough job in the eyes of management, Leadership is never held accountable, Taking advantage of mid level management to complete the work of upper level management, Directives from corporate that change monthly, Reports for how many times you opened a report. Not being able to hire your own team instead someone's who wont be present decides on who is on your team at an entry level.
