* Slow to adopt change and fails to acknowledge and take stance on outside organizational issues in a prompt manner such as diversity issues we saw in early 2020. CEO Preston Feight is passive to acknowledge and to denounce racism or provide guidance on how the organization will move forward but directs its divisions to handle the issue. PACCAR supports multimillion dollar companies who have strong political views and from the inside looking in are indeed racist. PACCAR fails to acknowledge this elephant and is more concerned about its profits and stock price rather than its well-being of employees. Internal webpages sparsely acknowledged unity for BLM and were labeled “Stronger Together” with a black silhouette and white lettering tip-toeing around the elephant in the room and fearful to take a stance when the rest of Fortune 200 companies and competitors have.
* Low compensation, with most wages 20% below market. PACCAR does not promote or give raises if an employee “Meets Expectation.” PACCAR will also renege on a salary promotion if an employee “Meets Expectation.” “Merit” increases are nice but PACCAR hides that merit increases are cost of living adjustments. Expect anywhere between 2-5% increase for most employees.
* Work overload. PACCAR runs LEAN and work life balance is non-existent. Most employees are stressed and Senior Management fails to approve headcount even when evidence is clearly blatant and recommended. Also in the future there will be no work from home policy even when data shows all-time record work performance and efficiency. PACCAR likes to micromanage and control its employees and environment and the company will spin it as “a people business” even when evidence of increased performance is clear.
* Diversity inclusion is existent but Senior Management fails to own and take a stance on any issue. Most acknowledgement is regurgitated information from its CEO. The company reeks with white privilege and is highly bureaucratic to get promoted.
* Dress code is antiquated, for the most part business formal if working at Corporate or with any supplier. Also men cannot have facial hair and are asked to shave. Additionally have “professional hair,” however you want to read into that.
* Office environments are outdated with some divisions still using work station panels that look like they were bought in the 70s. Dust and pollen collect on these cloth panels and it’s disgusting.
* Cafeteria food company wide is unhealthy. Pack your own lunch or go-out and get something better.
