Pros

Lots of room for growth and pretty much even the VPs all started on the bottom rung. I got promoted to a salary position (with company car, phone, computer, etc) within 6 months of employment. The work can be challenging and hectic but as long as you are in the right district, you will work with an impressive group of go-getters that legitimately want to see you succeed. They also really invest in you here at Penske. I've been to training in Pennsylvania 3 times in the 2 years that I've worked here and when you are there, the highest people in the company come to speak with you as well as take you to dinner. The people that create our computer systems nationwide know me by name because I e-mail and call them directly with questions so regularly. No one is ever too good to talk to anyone. Truly amazing.

Cons

If you are truly passionate about the trucking industry, there are no cons. The only cons, for me, revolve around the fact that though this is an awesome company, I don't necessarily wake up every morning wanting to discuss fuel mileage, new laws and regulations, etc... If you live and breathe trucking, there will be no better company.

Pros

Nice pay, ok benefits, coworkers can be nice to work with, management is understanding of emergencies when they arise. Good 401K package.

Cons

There were huge double and triple standards where I worked. I would consistently get called into the office and have to explain myself for something someone else accused me of, and when I debunked the lie, I wouldn't even get an apology for the false accusations. If you are not part of the "in-crowd" you can forget any kind of promotion or any kind of advancement. I worked there for 5 years and did my job well to one day be called into a conference room and be told I am being let go. I wanted Penske to be a company I was with for a career, unfortunately that will not be the case. If you like being a glutton for punishment, be my guest, otherwise, stay away!

Terrible Management

Pros

The pay opportunities are great. High pay, Holiday pay, overtime, on call.

Cons

Management is stuck in high school. If they don’t like you, they don’t plan to teach you anything or promote you. Management plays favorites and picks on the ones they don’t like. Days are constantly busy and drowning with customers and calls. Management hides in their offices and doesn’t help. But will find time in the day to constantly tear you down about how bad everyone is doing and 100 more tasks you need to complete. Your manager can be gone 3 times a week for appointments and everything else. But you are expected to work weekends and evening shifts on a dime with no exceptions. You are also not told this whatsoever when you are hired! I hate working here with a passion. Everyday I go home so angry and cry. The only thing positive is the paycheck.
