Pros

Benefits package is good, was better before the downturn, but better than most. And currently still offers a pension to non-union employees.

Cons

SALARY!!!! WAGES!!!! Tough to break the a "ceiling" if you are female or minority. The company was ran better when Charles was CEO. A whole location workforce is "punished" for one persons wrongdoing, rather than dealing with the individual responsible for actions. Do not call the ethics hotline for anything, you will end up paying for it in the long run, regardless of legitimacy of your issue. Anonymous, it is not.

Pros

Paccar is a large stable company that provides decent job security. Provides a good name to put on a resume.

Cons

Pay is poor, recession gives corporate an excuse to not give raises. Even when sales return, they will not increase the raises to make up for the increasingly low pay. It is comical to watch Pigott walk around with his minions ready to dance for him at the drop of a dime. Example: He wanted peanut M&Ms, went to the vending machine and it didn't have them. Next thing you see is half a dozen people running around the building and even driving to gas stations to find a bag of M&M's. Goes to show that everyone is afraid to be the person to say "NO" to him.
