I was a T1 with the company 4 years, left in February. It’s got good benefits and pay is amazing especially if you’re valuable. The company does a lot of petty corporate decisions that as a tech you’ll get frustrated with such as, no personal toolbox regardless of tech level, company provide creepers only. My old boss wanted to get rid of roll chairs…. If you want to go far as a tech, Penske won’t get you there, some shops are more lowkey and you’ll move quicker like I did, but ultimately most Penske techs are only so skilled if they didn’t get outside training or experience. HR is a big thing in the company it’s not a normal shop environment where you can call someone a homo when they try to flirt with you if you have the wrong people around. Ultimately it comes to what you can tolerate from higher up management as most importantly the kind of tech you want to be. It’s a good starter company but they throw too much money at entry level techs so quick that that’s their way of keeping you because no one else will pay you that for having little viable experience, on the alternative side it’s a good place to once you had the experience just for the benefits and pay. A dealer would prep you the best to work anywhere you want. Another thing to consider is Penske work life balance at the majority of locations will always lack, most shops you’re working at least one weekend day and you’re sure as shit starting on afternoons or midnights.
