Penske Employer Reviews

At penske we arranged empty totes that Ford products came in. We would sort by size and color and palatize them on skids to be shipped back out and reused. My co workers were great but management was not so good.

worked monday thru friday,flexable in times and out times, could come and go as i pleased as long as i got the work done.great atmosphere and ppl to work with

There is a severe lack of communication when I was working in Track and Trace. Management made it clear they don't care about their employees. They try to squeeze as much work out of you as possible for the least amount of money. Worst job I've ever had.

I enjoyed working for Penske.
Coworkers are great.
Daily activity work 24/7 enviroment

perhaps not as a whole , but penske mgmt team at the peco facility are extremely insensitive,the team has core integrity issues. Not very sincere, actually rather insincere.idle promises. spout the virtues of a safe working environment { only if it cost effective to them.}.Very unsavory business practices.say one thing and do another.As a whole not – more... very trustworthy and not forthcoming in the manner in wich they treat thier employees. a negative expierience as a whole. – less

The day would fly by.
Stressful at times but rewarding at the end of the day

ALOT OF DRIVING INVOLVED, HOOKING UP TRAILERS,AND ALONE TIME ,JUST NOT ENOUGH HOURS

The company has a lot of great qualities. A typical day at work consisted of fueling trucks, washing trucks, and performing preventive maintenance on light duty and heavy equipment vehicles.

It's a typical driving job. We are a logistics provider and the current customer I am working for is Mission Foods. We deliver their finished product to their distribution warehouses located in Northern California. For a multi-million dollar company, the equipment is falling apart and they don't ever do anything extra for their employees at all. You – more... will never get a raise. – less

A typical day at work: Come to work on time, get an assignment and stay busiy. Too much politics in the climate.

What I,ve learned: Working as a contract maintainance provider can be consuming.

Management: I never see them. Just hear from them through the network when they miss their quota (bonus).

My co-workers: These guys work apart. We was not – more... close. – less

Easy company to work for, not alot of pressure, co-workers were young, hired out of tech schools. needed real life training and tools for their jobs

Dock drivers are compensated by piece rate. For me , this adds a little stress. I want to do my job properly with out being rushed.

I get along with management and co-workers just fine. The hardest part of the job is figuring out how to load some of the trucks to make all the product fit but thats ok because I welcome challenge.

The most enjoyable – more... part of the job is taking pride in knowing I did my job properly and efficiently at the end of the day. – less

Every day at Penske is unlike any day prior. There is always a new task and/or issue to resolve and conquer. It is an enjoyable environment to work in because the employees are all very personable. Truck rental is a challenging industry to catch onto, yet very rewarding.

Loading and unloading trucks on tight schedules. I learned to work with people with little expierience.

Penske is a large company that is great at teaching people how to run logistics operations.

management needs to get more involved with lower grade personnel.

I was able to evaluate the processes and operations the first month as manager, at which time I setup Kanban systems in many areas, as well as use Kaizen methods. By implementing these processes, I was able to improve the “clean truck” rate to over 98 %. Because the “clean truck” rate was improved at this facility, International Truck and Engine moved production of a new line of trucks to the facility and increased the daily production rate to 145 trucks a day. – less
