Business Outlook

Pros

Low traffic, Small city location, Steady pay benefits. Tools provided. Good engineering departments, driver's to support

Cons

Any real time Transportation industry skill growth comes to a halt. Department worked had bad low-level management. Politics large part of issues. Day time supervisor bad mouthing night time supervisor and the department head. Caught in lies etc. Nighttime leadership always in trouble. A lot of negativities left unchecked by senior management. Physical confutations swiped under carpet. HR department fell right into step with the cancer of PACCAR PTC. Good o'l boy mentality. Ya better lean with management. Test drivers are contracted and abused they have to work sixty hors a week and the old timers are good and far in-between. As turnover is high. Always a new guy's damaging equipment or not turning in good data. You have to start out as a contractor unless you know sombody.
