Pros
PACCAR is a stable company, although the truck market is often cyclical. We are proud of the product that we produce. We also donate a fair amount to charityâ??s and educational institutions as a company. Tenure is long (although this can be good and bad).
Cons
Management is out of touch with the employee population and often hostile toward it. They rule by fear and often make decisions in a vacuum. The approval process is so convoluted and far reaching that by the time a decision is made the reason for it is lost in translation. â??Some things should be delegated to people how understand the decision their making. There is about zero employee communication and if you want/need to feel appreciated and part of a whole picture youâ??re not going to get it here. The company culture (especially at corporate) is stuffy and old (there is actually a restaurant on the top floor that only â??managementâ?? can go too...embarrassing. There is no such thing as flextime, compressed workweeks or telecommuting. The technology is horrible. You are not given the tools to produce the kind of work you would like too, or that management expects. Pay is not good even when the company was doing well. Benefits are mediocre at best.
