RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Penske Media full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
The CEO really cares about the welfare of his employees. Pay and benefits are decent. I've never worked for a company that makes me feel as safe and protected like PMC, especially during COVID. Their honesty is refreshing. Holiday/PTO time has increased since the beginning of my work tenure. Diversity is a growing and nurtured part of how PMC does business. Matching 401k. Good to great co-workers! Fun office environment, but working from home has also been a blessing during these times.
Cons
I am not sure if there is a gender wage gap like some reviews have said - if true, that needs to be rectified. Management needs to work on showing appreciation for and helping their staff (see below advice to management).

Pros
Nice offices great former brands
Cons
Terrible work environment. This company is purely about cost cutting and getting cheap deals on legacy media. Then he guts them. Rinse and repeat. CEO lacks vision

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Penske Media full-time for more than a year
Pros
The work is fun. Employeed through COVID-19, company paid for all COVID related expenses (testing etc).
Cons
-401K matching is poor. -Health insurance isn't great. -Salaries are well below what they should be. -Zero room for growth, don't expect a raise without threatening to leave. -IT department takes 10 years to answer a ticket, and has massive blocks on the apps you're allowed to use. -HR has no idea how they employees actually feel about the 'positive changes they're making' -Editor in Chief of Variety was brought back after PAID administrative leave for negative talk to a person of color, staff was asked to move on. -I would go as far as calling the company sexist, they boast female empowerment on a C-Suite level, but little support underneath. -Upper management has no real connection with the entry/mid-level staff -Depending on which departments you enter, it's super cliquey and incredibly difficult to meet people. -Zero organization in the org chart, everyone does everything and titles mean nothing.

Vibrant, growing media company in a business otherwise seeing declines.
Cons
Health care options are only so-so.

Pros
Snacks and health care and the Halloween party
Cons
Intense adherence to one man's design aesthetic is a weird company policy to enforce.

RecommendsApproves of CEOI have been working at Penske Media full-time for more than a year
Pros
PMC is an amazing company to work for. People really do care about you here. With everything going on lately, PMC knocked it out of the park with the way they communicated with their employees and made them feel valued, supported, and safe. They are always reaching out to have honest discussions and feedback.
Cons
Fast-paced, constantly growing, always things to do here (could be a pro if you can handle it)!

Pros
PMC is a company comprised of iconic brands, run by smart, curious people driven to succeed. But what truly sets this organization apart is the genuine affinity for others....both internally and externally.
Cons
Need to unify technology operations/systems
