Pros
You wear a lot of hats because of the total lack of resources and dated technology, which provides first hand exposure to the entire process from cradle to grave. PACCAR makes great products and is an American company. This minimal reinvestment in the company's employees, keeps overhead down and plays a role in the overall financial strength of the company.
Cons
Grossly understaffed as an organization, with little to no focus on process efficiency, which seems odd given that manufacturing is the core business. Goals is rarely even close to attaining so the annual incentive program usually does not seem to equally compensate the efforts of the year and with so much piled on your plate, it is a real challenge to be really effective at everything. There is a time when a company can run too thin...we'er here. There appears to be little strategy on how to best use resources and enhance processes and products. There is little to no career pathing and if there is a promotion, it usually comes with a 150% increase in work and a 3% increase in pay. I cant pay my bills with titles and I work too hard here not to improve my personal financial situation, as well as the companies and shareholders.
