Pros
There are some people who spend their entire career here, which you don’t really see anymore in today’s workplace. The benefits (PTO, health care cost, 401K match) are not bad, and after time can get pretty good.
Cons
Technology, cohesiveness, progress, all things non-essential to Pierce. There are too many duplicated projects or systems to count. Two similar trucks designed at the same time by two different teams, that could have been one. Projects with delays, launched with problems even after the delays. Old technology and survives because new tech costs money. It all comes down to an unwillingness to invest money. There’s not enough money invested in personnel, which leaves the business short-staffed. This in turn leaves projects and development shorted, and leads to the launch delays, last minute redesigns, and lingering problems after launch. The best people get overworked, and the smart ones leave. Lastly, career pathing leaves a lot to be desired.
