Pros

If you're looking for a long career in car sales there's probably not a better place to be. It is quite safe from downturn because PAG is a gigantic machine backed by Roger Penske, a financial shark and great businessman. Additionally, depending on brand, there are so many brands that the manufacturers generally love Penske owned dealerships, which is good for inventory. There are many dealerships to transition to, lots of potential for upward mobility if you politic and play the game.

Cons

It is VERY corporate. It is also very "old-school". The organization is slow to make change, because everything needs to be "approved." You are just a number. Management will never give you direct feedback, it will always feel like you are at arm's length from your bosses.

Pros

It's a good environment for making connections with other people in the business. The staff here genuinely care for you!

Cons

Have to do more of what's asked of you than what is on the job description

Pros

I do not have any pros for Penske.

Cons

Their HR department does not hold their managers accountable for the abuse they are causing onto their employees. Being told to "remember to clock out" for lunch because we always have to work through our lunches is so small compared to all the other issues that occur in Penske. HR chooses not do anything to help their employees when they report something. They realistically do not care whatsoever that extreme misconduct occurs. They also don't ever care to explain the benefits that may be necessary for work/life stress balance except for one quick second at Power Up. HR does not tell you anything to set you up for success.
