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

- Great people (Co-Workers) and friendships that will extend past my career with Penske. - Pay was decent if you could move up quickly and were re-locatable. - Most positions get a company car/phone/laptop.

Cons

- No work/life balance - Long hours - Pay was decent, but when you work as long as you are required to, its not that much. - Not allowed to have an opinion if it differs from your boss - Negative reinforcement through fear and write-ups - Micromanagement - On call 24/7, 365 - Even though you are on call 24/7, you'll have no support during off-hours from your management team - They promote you and then throw you to the fire with minimal training/support - "Come to the Throne" approach from the leadership team
