A Corporate Culture based on Fear

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

PACCAR is a solid, stable company with many, many years of profits. Senior Management drives the need to preserve shareholder equity to all levels of the corporation. That is our primary purpose in life ... to make a profit.

Cons

The economic downturn and tightening of the corporate belt has caused technology to stale; it will cost a fortune to get back up-to-speed. The tightening of the corporate belt has not set well with many technology professionsals; it will result in a huge loss of resources when the markets open up again. Very conservative company - very slow to make decisions - decisions are questioned all along the path ... aging workforce (probably because they're the only ones with the fortitude to navigate the corporate culture).

Pros

PACCAR is a great way to boost your resume. If you're driven you will definitely gain a lot of extra experience.

Cons

Employees are on average paid 30% less than at other companies for the same job, the benefits leave to be desired, it is an extremely conservative old school company with little to no regard or respect for employees.

Paccar is going through a difficult time

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Supportive and creative employees. There are some excellent managers. Work life balance is good. Work load is reasonable. There are many long tenured employees who in some cases span multiple generations

Cons

The large number of managers and low ratio of employees to manager. Paccar is slow to adapt common practices such as telecommuting, 4x10s and working from home.
