Pros

Managed some good Techs that truly cared!

Cons

Penn’s HR is the worst I have ever worked with in 30 years! HR management is part of Penn’s issue. Penn Power has VPs that have NOT a clue how to manage remote service locations. No direction what so ever! No SOP in place! Totally shoot from the hip management! Penn Generator makes the money. The on Highway division needs to shut the doors and re-group with all new upper management. Never knew Penn’s reputation was that bad when I accepted the position. Glad to have moved on…

First, I would like to apologize for our tardy response. We wanted to take a moment to reflect on the comments above and respond in the most sincere manner. Thank you for taking the time to write this review and we are sorry that your career plans didn't work out here at Penn. We do wish you the best of luck in finding the environment that you are looking for in a company. We are working hard to maintain a culture where employees feel empowered and valued. We believe that all feedback, good and bad, is valuable and allows us to continue to grow as an organization. As a company that has been operating, profitably, on all sides of the business, for over 50 years, it is important for us to continue to find ways to improve. We sure do have many techs here at Penn that are passionate and truly care about their jobs and we value their worth immensely. Our leadership is comprised of some of the best and the brightest in the industry. They are consistently focused on processes and policies as well as finding ways to improve all the processes and policies we do have in place. Above all, we value our customers first- internal and external. We realize that sometimes the HR team has to tell folks things they don't want to hear. The department combined has 60 years of experience under them and understand that sometimes they won't please everyone, but they sure do their best to invest in relationships and find win-win solutions. Thank you again for speaking up and we wish you the best in your next venture!

Pros

Market offering is substantial in terms of service to clientele. This makes the atmosphere for growth perfect. Good people that are honest to work with.

Cons

Older company learning to grasp the newer age of technology, as with any company navigating this. It takes time to adopt and can be a struggled at times.

Pros

nothing good is left of the company

Cons

senior mgmt think they know what to do to drive business however they only want "yes" people and not workers. All mgmt that cared or worked were let go due to huge egos in what they call senior mgmt. mgmt needs to take the blinders off and think about who is left and if they can get the true leaders back instead of uneducated bosses
