      Unsafe environment, drivers are pushed to drive full tilt all the time, new employees are kept to close to end of probation then turfed just before make union, constantly hiring because demands are too high, very misogynistic environment.

      STILL FANTASTIC

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I love the company. I had a family emergency and had to leave the company after 4 years or so, and I relocated, went to a different dealership in another state, and quickly realized how “together” Penske has their stuff. From the people, to the facilities, to the processes, and benefits… I’m SOOO thankful to be back with a company that actually values its employees, acknowledges efforts, and just all around is the best.

      Cons

      It’s a large company so processes can be a little behind (we still can’t accept Apple Pay for payment)

      Great people, Difficult Management.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working with others at Penske can be very rewarding, there are many great people and teammates here. The General Managers are excellent individuals and really are here to help administration positions succeed. If you can stick it out, specifically in sales and service roles, there are many opportunities to be promoted. Compensation, at least for my administrative role, is competitive for the DMV area.

      Cons

      The specific office I work in is a little toxic by the higher, executive management. The methods of communication by my manager are inappropriate, unprofessional, and unpredictable. One day you think you're doing great, and the next you are in direct fear of your job. This inconsistency is nerve-wracking, and extremely counter-productive.
