      Good pay, positive, friendly colleagues, outstanding dispatchers

      Work hours for drivers suck, swing and graveyard combined.

      Advice to Management

      Get some management training, get up off your rear and at least try to do a decent job.

      No opinion of CEO

      I worked at Penske full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      A lot going on, really test your ability to think quickly
      Ample opportunities for work
      Extremely stressful environment so it tests you, and you can watch other people wilt under the pressure so that’s always interesting

      Cons

      Ridiculous hours, 7 days a week, no OT pay
      No realistic chance for growth
      Laughed at when asked for a raise, despite essentially being promoted
      Abusive senior supervisor, who was never disciplined for how awful she is
      After I quit, I emailed Human resource about my last paycheck, still haven’t heard back, it’s been about a month now, have sent 5 emails
      I’ve slept overnight in the warehouse to work early on Saturday at the orders of management and spent over 24 hours in there on multiple occasions. Never even received a thank you.

      Advice to Management

      GMs and area VP are brilliant, once you start getting below them there’s a drastic drop in leadership and professionalism.

      I have been working at Penske full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Great for the first year as the accounts you work on are quite well known. You learn how to be detailed oriented. Pay is okay.

      Cons

      Lack of growth opportunities after one year. Most Penske employees are contractors and work on their customer's site so your options to move up are quite limited.

      Advice to Management

      Give more opportunities for growth. People leave after a year.

      If you keep your nose clean you have very stable employment. 401k matching available. Work from home available for most positions.
