87% of This Company’s Leadership Went Through This Program First (and They’re Hiring!)

Are you looking at entry-level job after entry-level job, but they all say, “Must have at least 2-4 years experience to apply”? What’s the point of something being entry-level if people just starting out their careers can’t be a part of it?

The people at Penske, one of the largest truck leasing and logistics companies, feel your pain, and that’s why they have a program that’s truly meant to give entry-level professionals the tools they need to not just find a job but start a career. Penske’s entry-level Sales and Operations Management Trainee program offers the opportunity to gain sales, operations and leadership skills in one experience, and even better, there’s a good chance you could continue your time with Penske after the program ends.

Even more importantly, once you take a look at what makes this program so great, you can head on over to WayUp right now and apply!

You Join a Structured Program

Why is Penske’s Sales and Operations Management Trainee Program such a success? They’ve helped so many people get started on successful careers that they have it down to a science. The program has four core components:

  • Field experience. Trainees get to learn on the job as well as through further online and in-person programming.
  • Structured learning. Trainees get to travel to Penske headquarters and learn from executives at the company.
  • Feedback. Trainees have the opportunity to participate in a constant feedback loop, so they can incorporate suggestions into their routines quickly.
  • Promotion opportunities. Trainees receive everything they need to begin successful, long-term careers at Penske from day one (but we’ll get to that in a sec!).

You Get Full-Time Employee Benefits

Penske doesn’t leave its trainees hanging, offering a wide variety of benefits including competitive starting salaries, three weeks of paid time off during their first year, flexible scheduling options, health insurance and healthcare plans, wellness programs and discounts.

And if you’re not sold, here’s something for all the overachievers out there: Top performers get bonuses and even company cars! You can ride around in style.

You Have the Opportunity to Build a Career

Here’s an amazing stat: 87% (almost nine out of 10) of Penske’s current leaders started out in this program, so they know that the team members coming out of the Sales and Management Operations Trainee Program are the best of the best.

Penske doesn’t leave you hanging once you complete the program; upon “graduation,” you get the opportunity to become an assistant rental manager, giving you the chance to flex your leadership skills while also getting more support as you grow and develop as a professional.

Like what you see? If you consider yourself to be entrepreneurial, motivated, and hard-working, and you’re looking for a company that’ll invest in giving you a serious hands-on professional experience, you need to apply to Penske’s program on WayUp right now!
