Pros
I like a challenging work environment and that is exactly what I get. I cannot speak for other parts of the company but Pierce does a good job of pushing me to succeed without setting me up for failure.
Cons
Some might think of this as a Pro, but being an intern here is one of the best things that could happen to you. You get exposure to upper management that tenured employees will never get which seems slightly unfair.

Thank you for your thoughtful comments. We are glad that your internship is proving to be a rewarding experience and certainly appreciate your contributions to the team!
We are continually seeking out new and creative ways to provide our teams various opportunities that help enhance their day-to-day experience during their time at Pierce. Should you have specific suggestions for us, please connect with your HR Business Partner or Supervisor to share them. Great ideas matter!
Product, Customers, and it is never dull. I enjoy my work and the opportunity to build a broad technical understanding in a variety of areas. If you like old school professional relationships with sales people and customers, this is a great fit. Many people build lasting and strong relationships across out dealerships and customer base.
Cons
We are growing our manufacturing capabilities quickly, a lot of change is happening and that can be stressful. Leadership often sets goals that seem unachievable, which creates an environment of frustration in those periods. There has been a lot of movement in leadership, both from turnover, and from natural succession. This is adding to the pressure already existing from the growing throughput expectations and other big changes.
