What is the best part of working at the company?
The kind of people I worked with in the Marketing Communications department made it worth coming into work face to face. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There were times where the kind of work we were doing required a little stress to make sure it got done in a timely and profession manner.  Only certain projects were stressful but they were also predicted to be, but it mad the job all the more special.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Although not perfect, I have to say that the culture of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion was intentional and was always something that was refined over the years.  Many companies don't even care to invest in a family and diversity based culture.  So I appreciated that about Porsche.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day for me was making sure the digital signage program was working in accordance with the standards set forth by the company.  This included making sure the digital screens were on and working and showing the exciting content that Porsche produced on a regular basis. I also attend several meetings per day at times to make sure projects were getting completed, and of course collaborating with different business units throughout the company attending to their needs as it pertains to marketing.

Traveling to marketing events, auto shows, charity events.

Love to travel and meeting new people. Great team and employee morale.

Job duties include:

• Product Specialist/Narrator for National Auto Show Circuit, Marketing Events/Races – Informing attendees of new and current Porsche vehicles and answering all product questions consumers might have.
• Explaining different aspects of the cars including technical information, safety features, price points, cosmetic and luxury features, as well as conducting vehicle walk-arounds.
• Always maintaining a professional, positive and enthusiastic attitude at all times when interacting with attendees.
• Lead generation with current and potential consumers who are highly interested in obtaining more information on the current Porsche product line.
• Take quarterly tests to keep up on the always evolving and industry leading information associated with Porsche vehicles.
• Handle and manage post-auto show/event reports that include event information and consumer feedback.
•Narration includes learning new scripts and delivering them in a clear, upbeat, friendly and informative manner.

Working at Porsche is a truly rewarding experience. As an employee, you’re part of a legacy brand that stands for precision, performance, and innovation. The company culture emphasizes quality in every detail, from design to customer experience. There’s a strong sense of pride among the team—everyone knows they’re contributing to something iconic. Leadership is generally supportive and focused on continuous improvement, and the work environment is both professional and collaborative. Porsche invests in employee development through training and career advancement opportunities, especially in engineering and manufacturing roles. The pace can be demanding, especially during product launches or production peaks, but it’s motivating to be part of such high standards. Benefits are competitive, and the blend of tradition and forward-thinking—especially in the EV space—makes it an exciting time to be at Porsche. If you’re passionate about automotive excellence, there’s no better place to grow.

Women and PoC are not treated fairly. 
Higher management lacks mutual respect. 
Base salary is terrible and its never adjusted to current market situations (so low that most employees can't afford the vehicle benefits offered). 
Average PTO, decent bonus (but if it's a bad year, you probably won't get the full percentage of bonus). 
Hybrid schedule is now enforced (two times a week in office). 
No career growth, you will be shuffled laterally and this is considered "career growth". 
People assume if they start as intern/contractor they will be promoted to a full time employee, THATS NOT THE CASE. There are more contractors than full time employees. 
Contractors and Interns are treated differently: not allowed to park in the covered garage, are excluded from certain company events.

I am very fortunate to have been able to represent such a prestigious brand. PCNA employs less than 1,000 people in the United States. My job was to travel across the United States and Canada with the international auto show as a presenter and product specialist. I have met some incredible people along the way and the best part of the job would definitely have to be the new experiences that it has allowed me to create. The hardest part of the job is the repetitiveness, but you get that with most jobs. The most enjoyable part of the job is getting the chance to travel to various cities - most of which I have been to at some point in my life, but some of which are new places! 

The job is very repetitive as are many, hours are long and tiring, to the point of exhaustion, many times you're stuck working 6 days a week. A lot is expected from you. There is no room for advancement, and management can be a bit of a head ache at times. There are many company perks, great pay, bonuses, good benefits, and complimentary lunches. Fellow immediate employees are fun, but sometimes do not pull their own weight. Be on time, do your job, be ready to learn,  and you'll be just fine there.

I enjoyed my internship with Porsche. I like the German culture! It was new to me and definitely encouraged me to get out more! 

A typical day was a bit easy and rather simple. I had a fun time pestering people for new work and being helpful in that capacity. I applied weighted averaged, tested the front end of the system, and discovered better processes to achieve my work.

While the environment can be stressful due to customer interaction, the team as a whole is efficient and enjoyable.  Management does what it can to provide incentives for the team.  The culture is relaxed, friendly, and welcoming.  The biggest downfall is the low wages and lack of advancement opportunities.  In my short time here, I have seen many people leave for other opportunities for growth.

Great people. Management is results driven. Compensation is on the lower-end. Trade-off is the job stability as long as you are able to perform your duties. Bonus has been great but base pay does not increase accordingly as they add more work. German/European culture. Some teams internally are passive aggressive even though they aren't performing their jobs. Upper management short-sighted in ability to focus their marketing effort to sustain long-term and is scattered.
