Pros

The pay is good for our area and what they do. RETIREMENT PLAN...so few companies have a defined pension plan that is fully funded and not taken from net profits. The people are incredible to work with, very dedicated and ALWAYS willing to help anyone. Paccar is focused on continuous improvement which allows so many great ideas to be implemented.

Cons

There needs to be more ITD people to get ideas implemented more quickly. Also need more accountability for employees whose performance cannot be quantified.

Stable company with pension, a place to settle down

Pros

Fixed working hours, usually no over-time is expected. At HQ, the building goes empty after 5:15pm. It's a place where it's ok not to work competively against your peers.

Cons

Fixed schedule. The company's culture ensures that any responsible employee would feel guilty going to a doctor appointment or stay home to care for a sick kid. No way to work from home. You can say you're working from home, and the reality is that nobody would believe you actually worked. The infrastructure doesn't really support it, and management doesn't encourage it. Suit and tie every single day, including Friday. The chairman does watch the dress code closely. Sometimes memos go out in the summer time to remind ladies not to wear certain shoes, and nylons are required. Many more silly rules!
